Key Concepts: Nationalism often revolves around the idea of a shared identity
among people within a nation-state or ethnic group. It
emphasizes a sense of belonging and solidarity based on
factors such as shared history, culture, language, and
sometimes religion.
Nationalism asserts the importance of national sovereignty,
which refers to the ability of a nation to govern itself
independently without external interference. It emphasizes the
right of a nation to determine its own political, economic, and
social destiny.
Nationalism promotes the idea of national unity and
integration, striving to bring together diverse individuals or
groups within a nation under a common identity and purpose.
It often seeks to overcome divisions and conflicts that may
arise from differences in ethnicity, religion, or regional identity.
Nationalism fosters a sense of national pride and patriotism
among its adherents. It encourages people to take pride in their
nation's achievements, history, and cultural heritage, as well
as to show loyalty and allegiance to their country.
Nationalism frequently intersects with politics, influencing
ideologies, policies, and political movements. Nationalist
movements may advocate for greater autonomy, independence,
or self-determination for a particular nation or ethnic group,
often challenging established political systems or advocating for
changes in government policies.
Nationalism can take different forms, including ethnic
nationalism and civic nationalism. Ethnic nationalism
emphasizes the importance of common ancestry, ethnicity, or
race in defining the nation, while civic nationalism focuses on
shared values, beliefs, and citizenship as the basis of national
identity.
Nationalism sometimes emerges in response to globalization, as
people seek to protect or preserve their national identity and
interests in the face of economic, cultural, or political
globalization processes. It can manifest as resistance to
perceived threats to national sovereignty, cultural
homogenization, or economic integration.
