Is nationalism really the powerful force that it appeared to be in the 1990s? This wide-ranging work examines the conceptual intersection of nationalist ideology, social violence, and the political transformation of Europe and Eurasia over the last two decades. The end of communism seemed to usher in a period of radical change-an era of \"extreme politics\" that pitted nations, ethnic groups, and violent entrepreneurs against one another, from the wars in the Balkans and Caucasus to the apparent upsurge in nationalist mobilization throughout the region. But the last twenty years have also illustrated the incredible diversity of political life after the end of one-party rule. \u003cem\u003eExtreme Politics\u003c\/em\u003e engages with themes from the micropolitics of social violence, to the history of nationalism studies, to the nature of demographic change in Eurasia.\u003cbr\u003ePublished twenty years since the collapse of communism, \u003cem\u003eExtreme Politics\u003c\/em\u003e charts the end of \"Eastern Europe\" as a place and chronicles the ongoing revolution in the scholarly study of the post-communist world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharles King\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of International Affairs and Government in the Edmund A.
