{"product_id":"from-nation-building-to-state-building","title":"From Nation-Building to State-Building","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the history of nation-building during the era of decolonization and the Cold War, and on the more recent post-Cold War and post-9\/11 pursuit of nation-building in what have become known as ‘collapsed’ or ‘failed’ states. In the post-Cold War and post-9\/11 era nation-building, or what is increasingly termed state-building, has taken on renewed salience, making it more important than ever to set the idea and practice of nation-building in historical perspective. Focusing on both historical and contemporary examples, the contributors explore a number of important themes that relate to ‘successful’ and ‘unsuccessful’ nation-building efforts from South Vietnam in the 1950s and 1960s to East Timor, Afghanistan and Iraq in the twenty-first century. From Nation-Building to State-Buildingwas previously published as a special issue of Third World Quarterlyand will be of interest to students and scholars of comparative politics and peace studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44521539961070,"sku":"9780415495219","price":74.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415495219.jpg?v=1702054365","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/from-nation-building-to-state-building","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
