[ecrea] new book: Waves of War

Waves of War
Andreas Wimmer



Why did the nation-state emerge and proliferate across the globe?

How is this process related to the wars fought in the modern era?


Analyzing datasets that cover the entire world over long stretches of 
time, Andreas Wimmer shows that political power and legitimacy are 
central to our understanding of nation building, ethnic politics and the 
violent conflicts
associated with both.


'Waves of War is a critical and timely contribution to the study of 
conflict that sets a new standard.'
