Uslaner\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Oxford University Press Inc, United States\nImprint: Oxford University Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780197633946, 978-0197633946\nSynopsis\nNational Identity Identity and Partisan Polarization examines how national identity has become a central issue in political and social life across the world. Questions of identity--who should be counted as a \""true member\"" of a society and who deserves assistance from the government--have displaced other social and economic issues across nations in many countries. \n\nThis study considers the role of identity theoretically and in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Israel, and Taiwan. Identity varies over time and over countries. Some such as Sweden have a more \""inclusive\"" sense of identity--one does not need to be born in the country or have ancestry to be considered a \""true Swede.\"" Other countrie.
