Benedict Anderson’s idea of ‘imagined communities’ and the concept of print capitalism have remained among the most important theories in the study of nationalism. The traditional printed word is increasingly replaced by the electronic; how does the advance of digital technology affect nationalism? To discuss this, we welcome the authors of the forthcoming Nations and Nationalism themed section on digital nationalism, César Jiménez‐Martínez, J Paul Goode, Guzel Yusupova, Peter Rutland, Aya Yadlin‐Segal, Sabina Mihelj, and Ivan Kozachenko. Chaired by Dr Gëzim Krasniqi, Lecturer in Nationalism and Political Sociology, University of Edinburgh.
