Why do nations come into conflict? This text offers answers to such questions by exploring how national identity is shaped by place. Focusing on Serbia, Hungary and Romania, it moves beyond studies of nationalism to show that the very core of national identity is bound to specific places.

Globalization seems to be making nation-states increasingly irrelevant, yet their number continues to grow. This work examines the origins, evolutions, and relationships of the world's nation-states to provide a better understanding of their interactions and conflicts.
