Books by Miroslav Hroch

A selection of articles with two themes such as: the process of nation formation during 19th century, especially in the case of 'smaller' European nations, and social and political aspects of the transition from a pre-modern, feudal and traditional society to a modern capitalist one and the uneven pace of this change in West and East of Europe.

Offers historical and political background to the profusion of nationalist movements in Eastern Europe. This book demonstrates empirically the concept of a three-stage process of nationalist mobilization. It shows how the character of a state's nationalism is shaped by the timing of each of these phases in relation to other social transformations.
