| Summary: | This article presents a detailed analysis of the concept of nation in the
work of Austro-Marxist Otto Bauer. In his view, the nation is conceived as
an evolutionary process of political, open and plural construction. His work
also unravels the connections of nation with a plurinational democratic
state, which was at the time a novel political and institutional vision. The
article argues that his work is very relevant today, with rising complexity
of the new contexts of global society and the multiplication of migrations
and refugees; and the need to respond through an accommodation of minorities
through mechanisms of territorial and non-territorial autonomy. Much of
these concerns form the substance of Otto Bauer’s work. |
