National Identity and Partisan Polarization

In National Identity and Partisan Polarization, Eric M. Uslaner examines how national identity has become a central issue in political and social life across the world. Questions of identity-who should be counted as a "true member" of a society and who deserves assistance from the government-have displaced other social and economic issues across nations in many countries. This study considers the role of identity theoretically and in the United State, the
United Kingdom, France, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Israel, and Taiwan.
