Summary
Chapter 2 introduces the main theoretical framework as well as the core concepts supporting the empirical analyses. It starts by outlining our response to the four weaknesses of the nationalism literature, followed by a depiction of the causal scheme that constitutes the analytical core of the book. The chapter also discusses key causal mechanisms supporting this framework before turning to alternative explanations and extensions to the scheme.
