Using a comparative, interdisciplinary approach, Nationalism in Asia analyzes currents of nationalism in five contemporary Asian societies: China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and South Korea.

  • Explores the ways in which nationalism is expressed, embraced, challenged, and resisted in contemporary China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and South Korea using a comparative, interdisciplinary approach
  • Provides an important trans-national and trans-regional analysis by looking at five countries  that span Northeast, Southeast, and South Asia
  • Features comparative analysis of identity politics, democracy, economic policy, nation branding, sports, shared trauma, memory and culture wars, territorial disputes, national security and minorities
  • Offers an accessible, thematic narrative written for non-specialists, including a detailed and up-to-date bibliography
  • Gives readers an in-depth understanding of the ramifications of nationalism in these countries for the future of Asia
