Book Description
How do groups – be they religious or ethnic – achieve sovereignty in a post-nationalist world? In Self-Determination without Nationalism, noted philosopher Omar Dahbour insists that the existing ethics of international relations, dominated by the rival notions of liberal nationalism and political cosmopolitanism, no longer suffice.

Review
“Self-Determination without Nationalism is a serious and novel contribution to the ongoing dialogue about ‘globalization’ among philosophers and political theorists…. There is much of great interest for readers in this book.”-William L. McBride, Arthur G. Hansen Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Purdue University
