Description
Comprising of collected essays on the theme of identity, modernity and politics. This text has been prompted by the conviction that several key analytical boundaries - between the West and "the rest" between the "economic" and the "political" and between "international" and "domestic" politics - have fundamentally impoverished comparative understanding of the dramatic changes in identity politics.
