Subdividing national territories: the drive to live in a political community whose boundaries are congruent with the cultural community

Auteur :

Description :
Two ideals have dominated world politics for two hundred years. in one, called liberal, there are no real differences among peoples (ex. the United States). The opposite ideal is called nationalist or reactionary (Iran is an extreme case). The number of states in the world has more than doubled since the end of World War II. The forces of separation seem on the rise, those of union of multicultural nations, on the decline.
