Description

Globalization has brought with it many difficult and contradictory phenomena: violence, deep national insecurities, religious divisions and individual insecurities. This book takes a critical look at three key areas - globalism, nationalism, and state-terror - to confront common mythologies and identify the root causes of the problems we face. Too many commentators still argue that globalization is predominantly a neo-liberal economic phenomenon; that nation-states are on the way out, and that terror is something that primarily comes from below. Global Matrix exposes the limitations of this argument. Written by two leading scholars, this is a lucid study of what place the nation-state has in a globalizing world that will appeal to students across the political and social sciences.

Author Biography:

Tom Nairn has lectured in Social Philosophy at Birmingham University and in General Studies at Hornsey College of Art, London. In the 1970s he was Senior Research Fellow of the Transnational Institute, Amsterdam. In the 1980s, he worked for Scottish Television in Glasgow and as writer-producer with Agenda Productions of Swansea, before returning to academic life, working with Ernest Gellner at the Prague College of the Central European University. During the late 1990s he set up a new 'Nationalism Studies' MSc degree for the Graduate School of the University of Edinburgh, although that time also included a visiting professorship at the University of Northumbria (1997). He was appointed as a Fellow of the Research Institute for Irish and Scottish Studies at the University of Aberdeen in 2000, Professorial Fellow in Politics at Monash University in 2001. In 2002 he was appointed as Innovation Professor at RMIT.
