Edited by Stefan Berger and Thomas Fetzer"},"content":{"rendered":"

This book is the first attempt to bridge the divide between studies addressing \u201ceconomic nationalism\u201d as a deliberate ideology and movement of economic \u201cnation-building,\u201d and the literature concerned with more diffuse expressions of economic \u201cnationness\u201d \u2013 from national economic symbols and memories to the \u201cbanal\u201d world of product advertising. The editors draw attention to the importance of economic issues for the study of nations and nationalism, and the relative neglect of this relationship in contemporary scholarship.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The authors of the essays come from disciplines as diverse as economic and cultural history, political science, business studies, as well as sociology and anthropology. Their chapters address the nationalism-economy nexus in a variety of realms, including trade, foreign investment, and national control over resources, as well as consumption, migration, and welfare state policies. Some of the case studies have a historical focus on nation-building in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, while others are concerned with contemporary developments. Several contributions provide in-depth analyses of single cases while others are comparative. The geographical focus of the contributions vary widely, although most deal with European countries.<\/p>\n

          “Stefan Berger and Thomas Fetzer have assembled a team of a dozen authors to tackle the question, through a mixture of literature reviews and case studies. They rightly argue that nationalism scholars tend to focus on state power and cultural representation at the expense of economics, while economists in turn largely overlook the question of nationalism. One of the central arguments in the book is that economic nationalism should be understood as a broader phenomenon than mere protectionism\u2014the creation of tariff and other barriers to deter foreign trade and investment.”<\/p>\n
