'This is a much appreciated and welcome work because of
the centrality of millian position in the liberalism/nationalism
dispute...an interseting and promising position, which can have an
important role in the contemporary dicussion of international
ethics.' - Raffaele Marchetti
'No-one has combed through Mill's collected works with
anything like this degree of thoroughness or acuity.' - Peter
Mandler, Cambridge University
'Varouxakis works to set the record straight on this major
liberal figure's contribution to understanding the phenomenon of
nationalism. His perspicacious use of a wide array of Mill's work
is one of the great strengths of this book that promises to be a
valuable resource for researchers...Varouxakis succeeds admirably
in enriching our understanding of Mill's complex views on this
cluster of questions.' - The Review of Politics, Vol. 65, No. 2
(Spring 2003), pp. 290-292
'Georgios Varouxakis is a leader in the new generation of
Mill scholars, and his work is exciting and provocative...Mill on
Nationality marks an important statement of Varouxakis's extensive
research on Mill...The book delivers.' - Bart Schultz, University
of Chicago, Journal of the History of Philosophy
'Mill on Nationality is a timely and valuable addition to
the literature both on Mill and on nationality. Scholars with an
interest in either subject will read it with great profit.' - Dale
Miller, Old Dominion University, Utilitas
'...acute and well-researched book.' - Geoffrey W. Smith,
University of Lancaster, Nations and Nationalism, Vol. 9, No. 1
(January 2003), pp. 150-151
'In Mill on Nationality, Varouxakis' main quality is the
ability to frame, and thus explain, Mill's position within the big
picture of his time. This is a much appreciated and welcome work
because of the centrality of [the] millian position in the
liberalism/nationalism disputeThis twofold understanding of the
utilitarian principle, able to combine a patriotisme eclaire with a
cosmopolitan appeal, is definitely an interesting and promising
position, which can have an important role in the contemporary
discussion of international ethics.' - Raffaele Marchetti (LSE),
Millennium: Review of International Studies
'...maybe the most interesting part of Varouxakis' book is
precisely his general effort to help prevent the abuse of classical
texts in contemporary debates.' - Victor Rizescu, Central European
University, Budapest and University of Central European Bucharest,
European Review of History
