The Symbolic State. Minority Recognition, Majority Backlash, and Secession in Multinational Countries, Paperback/Karlo Basta

Through a synoptic historical sweep of Canada, Spain, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia, The Symbolic State shows us that institutions may be more important for what they mean than for what they do. This book is timely in an era when the power of symbols - Brexit, the Donald Trump presidency, the Black Lives Matter movement - is shaping global politics.
