(2017) A philosophy of nationhood and the modern self, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
In this chapter, I defend what I call a comprehensive view of the nation. It is an attempt to go beyond the limited capacity in which the concept of the nation seems to be present within mainstream contemporary (predominantly liberal) political theory. Having established that the modern self is defined by an internal tension between freedom and belonging, I show that the nation successfully mediates it, by referring to Margaret Canovan's concept of nations as "worlds".
