This volume features 15 articles organized into four sections covering theoretical and comparative studies, nationalism's role in democratic transitions, theory application to case studies, and the influence of history and myths on national identities. It introduces new theories through discussions with prominent nationalism scholars. Hans Kohn’s ideas are examined regarding the term ‘civic’ in liberal democracies, while Rogers Brubaker questions the classification of European states as ‘civic’ versus ‘nationalising,’ given their historical context. Will Kymlicka explores multiculturalism's relevance in post-communist states, and Paul Robert Magocsi highlights the lack of data supporting claims of national minority revivals in Ukraine. The volume also critiques ‘transitology’ by comparing regions with only political reforms to those experiencing ‘quadruple transitions’ involving democratic, market, state, and nation-building reforms. A comparative analysis of Serbian and Russian diasporas reveals differing reactions to the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the USSR. The text challenges historians using imperial frameworks, examines the re-writing of Ukrainian history through post-colonial lenses, and discusses Ukraine’s identity formation within theories of ‘Others.’ Lastly, it proposes a new framework for studying Ukrainian ethnic relations, moving beyond the traditional view of nationalism as a West Ukrainian phenomenon.
