What is nationhood? Does it still have relevance in a world of multinational corporations and instantaneous global communications? And can the world accommodate the wishes of numerous peoples to have their own ethno-political nation-states, as in the Balkans and Central Asia? In this provocative series, four brilliant thinkers deconstruct the complex concept of nationhood in order to define and understand it. 4-part series, 53-55 minutes each.
