Despite the recent proliferation of literature on nationalism and on social        policy, relatively little has been written to analyse the possible interaction        between the two. Scholars interested in social citizenship have indirectly dealt        with the interaction between national identity and social programs such as the        British NHS, but they have seldom examined this connection in reference to        nationalism. Specialists of nationalism rarely mention social policy, focusing        instead onlanguage, culture, ethnicity, and religion. The main objective of this        book is to explore the nature of the connection between nationalism and social        policy from a comparative and historical perspective. At the theoretical level, this        analysis will shed new light on a more general issue: the relationshipsbetween        identity formation, territorial politics, and social policy.Although this book        refers to the experience of many different countries, the main cases are three        multinational states, that is, states featuring strong nationalist movements: Canada        (Qubec), the United Kingdom (Scotland), and Belgium (Flanders). The book        looks at the interplay between nationalism and social policy at both the state and        sub-state levels through a detailed comparison between these three cases. In its        concluding chapter, the book brings in cases of mono-national states(i.e. France,        Germany, Sweden, and the United States) to provide broader comparative insight on        the meshing of nationalism and social policy. The original theoretical framework for        this research is built using insight from selected scholarship on nationalism and on        the welfare state.
