The book explores the enduring relevance of the nation-state, countering predictions of its decline. It highlights how the dissolution of the Soviet Union revived suppressed nationalisms, leading to the emergence of new states. The European Union's integration has further empowered intra-national movements, suggesting that smaller nation-states can thrive alongside larger entities. Additionally, it examines the rise of significant global players like China, India, and Brazil, who assert their national identities and resist merging into larger political frameworks.
