International Studies Review

Scaling Identities, edited by two well-known experts, is a valuable contribution to the existing literature. The volume has two major strengths: First, it is theoretically sophisticated and takes seriously the neglected issues of scale and scalar-identity processes; second, it provides the reader with a set of intriguing case studies that go far beyond the typical Eurocentric national-identity narratives. Highly recommended to all those interested in nationalism and identity studies.

Nation and state are, on the face of it, incommensurable ideas. How do they combine, culturally and politically, in the nation-state? In this innovative text, Herb and Kaplan have brought together a range of empirical and theoretical studies which, by focusing on concepts such as space, scale, and territory, cast new light on this question.
