“Gaps in Nationalism” provides a comprehensive analysis of how nationalist movements, despite their unifying promises, often create significant divisions in society, economics, and international relations.

Through a careful examination of 20th and 21st-century case studies, the book reveals the complex interplay between nationalist ideologies and their real-world consequences, particularly focusing on economic policies, cultural identity transformation, and diplomatic relationships in our globalized world. The book's unique approach lies in its data-driven analysis of the measurable gaps between nationalist rhetoric and actual outcomes.

By examining both successful and failed nationalist movements, it demonstrates how these ideologies typically emerge from economic uncertainty and social upheaval, often leading to unintended consequences such as reduced economic growth and social instability. The author presents compelling evidence showing how protectionist policies and cultural isolation can undermine the very prosperity and unity that nationalist movements claim to pursue.

The work progresses systematically through three main sections:
— an economic analysis of nationalist policies
— an exploration of social cohesion and identity formation
— an examination of international relations challenges

Drawing from extensive economic data, social surveys, and diplomatic archives, the book offers readers practical frameworks for evaluating contemporary political movements while maintaining an accessible academic style that appeals to both policy makers and informed general readers interested in understanding modern political and economic trends.
