Employing a systematic comparative perspective, Haas organizes the book around the notion of change and its management by political elites in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Russia. Haas particularly wants to understand how nationalism plays out in the politics of modernization within non-Western cultures, especially those where religions other than Christianity predominate. Where the hold of religion remains formidable, he argues, the mixture of traditional and secular-modernist institutions and beliefs will challenge the victory of liberal nationalism and the very success of nation-state formation.
