"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 <br />

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.
