Nationalist Politics in Europe: The Constitutional and Electoral Dimensions

Nationalism in Europe is often studied in historical, sociological and philosophical ways. The constitutional and electoral dimensions have been comparatively neglected, yet these are very necessary to an understanding of what nationalism means in contemporary Europe. Focusing on electoral support for nationalist parties and for nationalist demands, James G. Kellas provides a detailed and up-to-date survey of nationalist politics in practice.
