case studies

military presence, it is claimed, has
protected these areas from intensive

Ethnicity, Nationalism
and the European Cold
War
Edited by Robert
Knight
• Brings ethnicity
and nationalism
to the forefront
of Cold War
studies
• Contributions
from an
international
panel of scholars
• Includes new research that is key to
understanding the ideological conflict
This book questions the prevalent
assumption that ethnicity and nationalist
politics had nothing to do with the Cold
War. Instead, the contributors argue that
they remained central to the conflict
in Europe. Leading scholars explore the
issue of why ethnic explanations were
written out of the discourse.
