The rise of strong nationalist and religious movements in postcolonial and newly democratic countries alarms many Western observers. In The Saffron Wave, Thomas Hansen turns our attention to recent events in the world's largest democracy, India. Here he analyzes Indian receptivity to the right-wing Hindu nationalist party and its political wing, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which claims to create a polity based on "ancient" Hindu culture. Rather than interpreting Hindu nationalism as a mainly religious phenomenon, or a strictly political movement, Hansen places the BJP within the context of the larger transformations of democratic governance in India. Hansen demonstrates that democratic transformation has enabled such developments as political mobilization among the lower castes and civil protections for religious minorities. Against this backdrop, the Hindu nationalist movement has successfully articulated the anxieties and desires of the large and amorphous Indian middle class. A form of conservative populism, the movement has attracted not only privileged groups fearing encroachment on their dominant positions but also "plebeian" and impoverished groups seeking recognition around a majoritarian rhetoric of cultural pride, order, and national strength. Combining political theory, ethnographic material, and sensitivity to colonial and postcolonial history, The Saffron Wave offers fresh insights into Indian politics and, by focusing on the links between democracy and ethnic majoritarianism, advances our understanding of democracy in the postcolonial world.

Identity is the master variable for many constructivist scholars of international politics. In this comparative study, Richard Ned Lebow shows that states do not have identities any more than people do. Leaders, peoples, and foreign actors seek to impose national identifications consistent with their political projects and psychological needs. These identifications are multiple, fluid and rise in importance as a function of priming and context. Leaders are at least as likely to invoke national identifications as rationalizations for policies pursued for other reasons as they are to be influenced by them. National identifications are nevertheless important because they invariably stress the alleged uniqueness of a people and its country, and are a principal means of seeking status and building self-esteem. Lebow tracks the relative appeal of these principles, the ways in which they are constructed, how they influence national identifications, and how they in turn affect regional and international practices.

"Moving beyond older approaches to the history of the Habsburgs in Central Europe in which nations are the main actors and nationalist conflict the inevitable moving force in the monarchy's trajectory, Pieter Judson offers an alternate narrative framework for the history of Habsburg Central Europe from the eighteenth century to the demise of the empire in World War I. He investigates how shared imperial institutions, administrative practices, and cultural programs helped to shape local society in every region of the empire. He shows how all of these elements gave imperial citizens fundamentally common experiences that crossed linguistic, confessional, and regional divides--experiences that even shaped nationalists' understandings of nationhood. And he traces what happened to the common or shared elements of imperial practice when the Habsburg monarchy formally ceased to exist in 1918."--Provided by publisher.

Nos sociétés modernes ont-elles encore besoin de héros ? Si en Europe de l'Ouest l'héroïsme national est considéré comme une expérience historiquement révolue ou à ce point redéfinie qu'elle en est méconnaissable, à l'Est, les États qui sortent du culte forcé des héros communistes réinventent, plus ou moins intensément, des héros nationaux. Des États-Unis à Israël, de l'Albanie à l'Irlande, de l'émergence enthousiaste de la nation moderne, à la fin du xviiie siècle, jusqu'à la reviviscence nationaliste qui se déroule sous nos yeux, les textes rassemblés dans ce livre tentent de cerner la fabrication d'un héros national, la mise en place d'une portion de panthéon, la liquidation ou la transformation soudaine des héros d'une période... De Napoléon aux parades des Orangistes, de Franco et Mussolini à Mère Teresa, des nouveaux héros guerriers serbes au père Popieluszko, ce parcours nous fait traverser différents espaces culturels, du local au national, de l'école élémentaire aux médias. S'il n'est pas possible à travers ces incarnations particulières de l'héroïcité, de tracer un portrait-robot du héros contemporain, on peut par contre en cerner certaines caractéristiques : la propension au sacrifice, la capacité médiatrice, l'intégration de traits appartenant à des héros antérieurs, l'aptitude à servir des causes parfois contradictoires. Ce livre analyse enfin le passage, aujourd'hui, d'un modèle héroïque d'identification collective à une individualisation et une banalisation dont l'ironie n'est pas absente et où le héros devient « homme sans qualités ». Du guerrier aux vertus surhumaines au premier venu, cet ouvrage nous propose, à travers un vaste échantillon de figures héroïques, une réfexion aussi vivante qu'actuelle sur la fabrication des héros.
