A landmark work of political theory, Nationalism and After presents a penetrating analysis of the rise and decline of nationalism as the dominant organizing principle of modern political life. Written by the eminent historian and international relations theorist E. H. Carr in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the work argues that the era of the self-contained nation-state has reached its limits, giving way to the necessity of larger, supranational political and economic units. With characteristic intellectual rigor and a cool, analytical tone, Carr traces the historical arc of nationalism from its nineteenth-century origins through the catastrophic conflicts it helped produce, illustrating how the principle of national self-determination ultimately undermined the very stability it promised. The text details the tensions between national sovereignty and international cooperation, making a compelling case that the post-war world demands new frameworks of governance that transcend traditional borders. A concise yet profoundly influential contribution to political thought, it remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the structural forces that shaped the twentieth century and continue to resonate today.
