Current History Virtual Issue on Resurgent Nationalism

Nationalism has been dismissed by some as a spent force—a relic no longer relevant to a modern world shaped by the forces of globalization. Yet nationalism has proved unexpectedly resilient of late, still capable of igniting passions—and conflicts—everywhere from Scotland to Sudan, from eastern Ukraine to the South China Sea. This collection of previously published Current History articles examines the phenomenon of resurgent nationalism and the ways in which it has manifested itself in different regions of the world.
