A concise history of nationalism in the 20th and early 21st Centuries

Japan's steely resolve....

Ronald Dore
        In this special essay to The Japan Times, Ronald Dore, a longtime student of Japanese society, examines the rise of nationalism in Europe and Asia and its evolution up to the present time. A rather lengthy (short of a whole history textbook) but fascinating read for anyone interested in how things work in the modern world and why things are the way they are; and concluding with a "hope" for one of the "wonders of 2013". 

     Will wonders never cease?

     With the comeback kid, who knows?
