167 nationalism is open to discussion and experimentation and keen to avoid dogmas (p. 435). Anyone familiar with the history of nationalism, even in the West, will question the validity of this statement. At the heart of this confusion lies the particular definition of liberalism Haas espouses, that is a certain procedure for the making of collective decisions. This is a technical, hence amoral, definition, as the author himself admits. But is this justifiable? How can liberalism and nationalism be divorced from their moral substance when the issues they raise are so often linked to morality? More importantly, how can we explore the links between the two irrespective of their value content? Unfortunately, Haas’s epistemological commitment, ‘the insistence on the separation of fact from the analyst’s personal values’, leads him to brush these questions aside (p. 453). Despite its many theoretical limitations, The Dismal Fate of New Nations, is an interesting addition to the literature on nations and nationalism.
