This introductory article emphasises the need to put the contemporary nation-building (state-building) effort in post-Saddam Iraq & elsewhere in historical perspective. With the resurgence of a powerful international discourse on nation-building that draws very selectively on the ostensible lessons of earlier nation-building successes & failures since 1945 (in fact the term nation-building is increasingly being substituted for the less problematic concept of state-building), it is more important than ever to set the idea & practice of nation-building in the context of decolonisation, the universalisation of the nation-state system, the geopolitics of the rise & fall of the Cold War & the transformation of the global political economy between the 1950s & the 1990s. In contrast to a growing number of quantitative & technocratic studies of nation-building & political instability, the article emphasises the profound need for broad qualitative analysis that historicises & de-routinises nation-building & the international system of nation-states in order to facilitate better & more critical engagement with contemporary nation-building & the wider crisis of the nation-state system of the early 21st century.
