This conference will focus on the rise of nationalism throughout our history and look at its impact on the state, civil society and the international system. Some papers will allow us to examine individual countries with a view to placing them within broader global patterns. Nationalism must also be seen in terms of its impact on states, people and global structures. In its latest phase, nationalism has led to the war in former Yugoslavia, the genocide in Rwanda, the bitter fighting in Chechnya, atrocities in Israel, and the list goes on. As social scientists we have the task of understanding and explaining these phenomena.
