Fri Nov 23 08:11:57 GMT 2012




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.'
