"Region and State in Nineteenth-Century Europe" is an academic book that explores the development of regional identities in the context of the national unification efforts of the 19th century in Europe. In a collection of thirteen essays, experts analyze the reasons why regional identities gained significance towards the end of the century and how these identities were integrated into the new national self-understanding. The contributions provide deep insights into the complex interactions between regional and national identities and illuminate the cultural, political, and social dynamics that led to this development. This book is aimed at readers interested in the history and identity formation in Europe and who wish to understand the multifaceted processes that contributed to the emergence of modern nation-states.
