At the end of the Cold War many Western commentators anticipated the advent of a New World Order of unipolar American hegemony or/and of global governance under the rule of international law, enforceable human rights and democratic institutions. Since then, those predictions have been met by challenges on behalf of national identities, ethnic rights and demands for the reassertion of statehood. Reflection on the present and future prospects of nationalism and national identities has retained and raised its status as one of the major research areas in the social sciences and humanities. A number of leading authorities from a range of different disciplines – political science, political geography, history, psychology, sociology, sociolinguistics – have agreed to give keynote addresses. As on previous occasions, besides the plenary presentations, there will be ample opportunities for papers to be presented in parallel panel sessions.
