Nation and state in East Central Europe

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 July 2009

Abstract

A fully integrated Europe implies an increased diversity in composition but can only be an association of states which preserve their identity within a framework characterized by mutual tolerance. Historically, nationalities and ethnic groups lived intermingled and in relative harmony, this changed after nations became more separated after 1918. The old concept of nation state is not compatible with contemporary circumstances.
