Through (collective) acts of self-determination, nations exercise the right to govern themselves. At present the nation-state system with which we are familiar faces several challenges. In Western Europe, sub-state nationalism is on the rise. In the Middle East and North Africa, the state system bequeathed by former colonial powers faces increasing threats from pan-Islamist movements. Overall, the established order faces unprecedented uncertainties. The scholars who have contributed to this volume assess the merits, limitations and trajectories of self-determination in the twenty-first century, pointing to the paradoxes and anomalies that are encompassed by what at first sight is a simple and seductive concept. From the perspective of the twenty-first century and informed by a wealth of experience each of the contributors to this volume offers some valuable and intriguing observations on the future of self-determination and the movements its call engenders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eEthnopolitics\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45237393588375,"sku":"9781138186637","price":12451.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138186637.webp?v=1769216399","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/self-determination-in-the-early-twenty-first-century-a-double-edged-concept-9781138186637","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
