Study Notes
Nationalism
- Nationalists believe that love of one's country is natural and desirable, and that the nation is the basis for political rule.
- Nationalism is hard to define and has attached itself to other ideologies, including liberalism, socialism, and conservatism.
Nations
- A nation is a subjective and loose term that suggests a people with a common heritage, culture, language, ethnicity, or history.
- A nation exists when a group of people define themselves as being part of one, and is therefore described as psycho-political.
- Nations are often connected to a certain geographical area.
Self-Determination
- Self-determination is the belief in sovereignty and the right for a nation and/or its people to be independent from other states and to determine their own future.
- This leads to the belief in the significance of the nation-state as a political entity.
Nation-States
- It is possible to be a nation but not a state, e.g., Wales and Palestine.
- Nationalists aim for the nation and the state to coincide, with the state as a geographical sovereign entity and the nation as a group of people who believe themselves to be one.
- The belief in the nation-state is linked to the rejection of empires and multinational states.
Cultural Nationalism
- Cultural nationalism is focused on the significance and importance of cultural identity rather than political identity.
- It often looks back to the past, celebrating historic events, traditions, or stories, and is clearly emotional rather than rational.
- Examples include Welsh nationalism, which does not always seek political independence but instead focuses on music, language, and history.
Racialism
- Racialism is the highly controversial pseudo-scientific belief that humans are naturally divided into races, with particular characteristics.
- This logically leads to the argument that races should live separately, as they have different characteristics and talents.
- Racialism can lead to racism and xenophobia, with a belief that some races are superior to others and the creation of a hierarchy.
Internationalism
- Internationalism suggests that nations should and can work together cooperatively, rejecting ideas of supremacy or the idea that nations do not have common goals and interests.
- It is linked to liberal nationalism's belief in a world of peaceful, cooperative nations, but the two can also be seen as contradictory.
