  1. Nationalism

  2. What is nationalism? • national spirit or aspirations. • devotion and loyalty to one's own nation; patriotism. • excessive patriotism; chauvinism. • the desire for national advancement or independence. • the policy or doctrine of asserting the interests of one's own nation, viewed as separate from the interests of other nations or the common interests of all nations. • an idiom or trait peculiar to a nation. • a movement, as in the arts, based upon the folk idioms, history, aspirations, etc., of a nation.

  3. Nation V. State • A State is a political entity that has sovereignty over its own affairs. • A Nation is a group with a common bond. • Nation State • Stateless Nation

  4. Summary The modern nation-state refers to a single or multiple nationalities joined together in a formal political union. The nation-state determines an official language(s), a system of law, manages a currency system, uses a bureaucracy to order elements of society, and fosters loyalties to abstract entities like "Canada," "the United States," and so on. • What's the difference between these concepts? • A nation-state differs from a "state" or a "nation" for a couple of important reasons: • A nation refers only to a socio-cultural entity, a union of people sharing who can identify culturally and linguistically. This concept does not necessarily consider formal political unions. • A state refers to a legal/political entity that is comprised of the following: a) a permanent population; b) a defined territory; c) a government ; and d) the capacity to enter into relations with other states. • This distinction is an important one because we, as political scientists, must be able to account for both political and socio-cultural factors in a political entity. Using the term nation-state, permits this investigation. The growth in the number of nation-states means that nation-states are going to have to cope with new political, economic, and social realities. The new entrants in the political system bring with them new opportunities for the international political system, but also bring new problems that the international order must be able to approach and attempt to solve.

  5. Ways to Create Nationalism • linguistic and cultural community • need primary education and a military conscription – both signs of an advanced state. • According to Anthony Smith, professor of Nationalism at LSE, the preconditions for the formation of a nation are as follows: • A fixed homeland (current or historical) • High autonomy • Hostile surroundings • Memories of battles • Sacred centers • Languages and scripts • Special customs • Historical records and thinking
