Nation Building

Why Some Countries Come Together

While Others Fall Apart

A book event with author

Andreas Wimmer

Nation Building presents bold new answers to an age-old question. Why is national integration achieved in some diverse countries, while others are destabilized by political inequality between ethnic groups, contentious politics, or even separatism and ethnic war?

Andreas Wimmer is the Lieber Professor of Sociology and Political Philosophy at Columbia University. He previously taught sociology at Princeton University, where he also served as director of the Fung Global Fellows Program, and at the University of California Los Angeles.
