Macro-Nationalisms

This book is a comparative study of the meaning characteristics and development of pan-movements a synonym for macro-nationalisms in the last century. It seeks to clarify the origins and developments of all the important pan-movements as historical phenomena. Beginning with an introductory chapter defining the characteristics of nationalism per se Professor Snyder in this companion volume to his Global Mini-Nationalisms: Autonomy or Independence considers specific pan-movements which have sought to combine existing nationalisms into a larger entity: Pan-Slavism Pan-Germanism Pan-Europeanism the pan-movements of Turkey Pan-Islamism Pan-Arabism Zionism Pan-Asianism Pan-Africanism et al. Although studies of these pan-movements exist individually this is the first comparative study of macronationalisms.
