Nationalism is a political ideology that promotes a national identity based on shared characteristics. It holds that a nation should govern itself independently and maintain its unique culture and national symbols. There are different types of nationalism such as civic nationalism which defines the nation based on shared political values rather than ethnicity, and ethnic nationalism which ties national identity to a shared heritage and ancestry. Nationalism is seen by some as a way for a threatened nation to unite against external threats but others criticize it as an artificial construct that can marginalize minorities and increase conflict.
Ernest Renan argued that a nation is defined not by objective criteria like language or culture, but by a subjective "desire to live together" and shared memories of suffering. Ernest Gellner viewed nations as modern constructs that emerged with industrialization to serve the needs of standardized education and mobility. Anthony Smith argued that modern nations have roots in pre-modern "ethnies" defined by shared ancestry, history, culture, and territory. Benedict Anderson conceived of nations as "imagined communities" made possible by the development of print capitalism and vernacular languages that allowed for unified communication over great distances.
Samuel Huntington was an influential American political scientist known for his theory of a post-Cold War world order outlined in his 1993 article "The Clash of Civilizations?" and subsequent 1996 book. He argued that future conflicts would occur along cultural and religious lines between major civilizations, namely Western, Orthodox, Islamic, Hindu, African, and Sinic civilizations. Huntington defined civilizations based on religion, language, history, and values. He believed the most prevalent conflicts would be between Islamic and non-Islamic civilizations due to factors like religious differences and the Islamic resurgence. His thesis was influential but also highly criticized for overgeneralizing cultures and ignoring internal political factors driving conflicts.

This document provides an overview of the modern nation-state system. It discusses the origins of nation-states in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. It then outlines the essential elements of nation-states as territorial integrity, sovereignty, nationalism, and equality. The document notes that nation-states are now facing challenges from trends like globalization, decentralization, sub-nationalism, and regional groupings. In conclusion, it discusses potential long-term replacements for the nation-state system like continent-sized governance units under a world government framework.
Nationalism is the belief that the nation should be the central principle of political organization and that nations have the right to self-determination and independent statehood. There are different forms of nationalism including political, cultural, ethnic, liberal, conservative, expansionist, and anticolonial nationalism. While nationalism can promote social cohesion and independence, it is also seen by some as inherently divisive and a potential source of conflict between groups.
This document discusses the origins and definitions of nationalism. It begins by defining nationalism as a feeling of loyalty and pride in one's nation, and a desire for political independence. It then discusses how nationalism emerged in Europe in the late 18th and 19th centuries due to events like the French Revolution and Industrial Revolution, which challenged old power structures and led to the rise of nation-states. Nationalism further developed due to the growth of the middle class and their desire for more political rights and representation. The document also introduces the concept of the "imagined community" which underlies modern nationalist movements.
Nationalism is a belief or ideology involving loyalty and pride in one's nation. It can involve a desire for one's country to succeed over others or be more powerful, as well as feeling the nation is greater than all others. Nationalism is associated with concepts like fatherland/motherland, nation, race, patriotism, ancestors, state, and national symbols like flags and languages. There are different types of nationalism such as cultural nationalism focused on protecting a culture, patriotism through pride in one's nation, and political nationalism aiming to keep a nation within one ethnic group.
1) A nation's foreign policy is determined by both domestic and international factors. Domestically, factors include a country's culture, history, geography, economic strength, and political system.
2) Internationally, the structure of the international system, international laws and organizations, military alliances, and relative military powers all influence a country's foreign policy choices.
3) A country's foreign policy consists of defining its national interests and desired outcomes, and determining strategies and resources to pursue these interests in interactions with other states.
This document discusses the concept of the nation state and national interests. It defines the nation state as a sovereign political unit where people are organized and interact with other sovereign states in various ways. The modern nation state system emerged in 1648 with the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the dominance of religious authorities and established the idea of separate sovereign states. National interests include the physical, political, and cultural survival of the state and nation. National interests are determined by decision makers' views, influential groups, the type of government, geography, and other external pressures. States pursue their national interests through diplomacy, alliances, economic policy, and sometimes war.
Liberalism is a predominant ideology that emphasizes individual liberties and rights. It originated in the Enlightenment and was influenced by philosophers like John Locke. Liberalism seeks to limit government power and establish democratic and capitalist systems with protections for civil liberties. It has taken various forms like classical liberalism, social liberalism, and neoliberalism. The spread of liberalism in the 19th century impacted the Muslim world through reforms in the Ottoman Empire like the Tanzimat, which aimed to modernize the state but also contributed to a crisis of identity in Islam and rise of Islamic revivalism.
Francis Fukuyama argues that with the end of the Cold War, Western liberal democracy may represent the final form of human government. He claims history has reached an "end point" with this ideological victory, as no alternative could now surpass liberal democracy. However, critics argue Fukuyama ignores issues within liberal democracies and the potential for new ideologies to emerge over time.
The document discusses the concepts of diplomacy and world politics from both macro and micro perspectives. From a macro view, diplomacy refers to the fundamental process of communication between political entities that helps create stability in the global system by resolving conflicts through dialogue and negotiation. From a micro view, diplomacy provides insights into how international actors like states behave in the system and can be used as an instrument to achieve their foreign policy goals through direct negotiations or other methods. The document then outlines some key features of traditional diplomacy, including its state-based structure with permanent embassies, bilateral and secretive processes, and narrow agenda focused on issues of war, peace and personal monarchical ambitions.
The Soviet-Afghan War began in 1978 when the Soviet Union intervened to support the communist government in Afghanistan against anti-communist mujahideen rebels. The intervention sparked condemnation from Western nations and the US began supporting the mujahideen to resist the Soviets. The war led to over 1 million Afghan deaths and the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989, marking the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union. For Afghanistan, it was the beginning of decades of continued conflict.
The document discusses the definitions and key differences between state, government, association, and society. It defines a state as a group of people living in a defined territory under an organized government and international recognition. A government is the instrument that operates the state. An association is a group of people organized for a common purpose. Finally, a society is a large group of people in interpersonal relationships within a shared territory typically under the same political authority. The key difference between a state and society is that a state has sovereignty and the right to use legitimate power, while a society can exist without a state and lacks such authority.
This document defines and discusses various concepts related to nationalism. It begins by defining a nation as a cultural, political, and psychological community bound together by common language, religion, history and traditions. Nationalism is then defined as the political belief that nations should govern themselves independently.
It goes on to discuss different types of nationalism like liberal nationalism, which supports national self-determination, versus expansionist nationalism, which is more exclusive and chauvinistic. Civic nationalism is defined as being inclusive and based on citizenship, while ethno-cultural nationalism is exclusive and based on descent. Conservative nationalism promotes social cohesion over liberal principles. Anticolonial nationalism emerged in opposition to Western imperialism.
This document discusses different types of balance of power in international relations. It defines balance of power as a state of equilibrium between competing forces that prevents any one entity from becoming too powerful. It then describes simple and complex balance of power, as well as local, regional, worldwide, rigid, and flexible balance of power. Simple balance involves two powers, like the US and USSR during the Cold War. Complex balance aims to preserve peace between warring nations. Regional balance maintains equilibrium within a geographical area, while worldwide balance concerns multiple regions. Rigid balance involves inflexible alliances, while flexible balance allows for changing alignments.
European colonialism expanded greatly between the 15th and early 20th centuries as European powers established overseas empires and spheres of influence in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Key events included Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias reaching the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, opening the sea route to India and East Asia; Christopher Columbus' voyages to the Caribbean beginning in 1492; and the "Scramble for Africa" in the late 19th century which saw European powers carve up the continent. European colonialism had huge economic, political, and cultural impacts on colonized regions around the world.
The document discusses the colonization of Africa by European powers between the 1500s-1800s. It notes that Europeans explored the continent, enslaved many Africans and sent them to other parts of the world. In the late 1800s, the "Scramble for Africa" led European nations to partition the continent at the Berlin Conference, dividing political control among themselves. This displaced tensions between European powers but ultimately led to conflicts like World War I. The colonization had both benefits like infrastructure development but also negatively impacted Africans through exploitation and economically crippled the regions. Decolonization movements in the 1900s eventually led to most African nations gaining independence.
This document defines key terms related to national interest and provides examples. It explains that national interest refers to things that help protect, preserve, or promote a nation. National interest can be economic, such as pursuing new trade deals, military such as expanding influence, cultural like preserving a language, or diplomatic like avoiding conflict. However, pursuing national interest aggressively can harm other groups, as seen in Germany's invasion of Poland and the Rwandan genocide. The document then introduces the topic of Arctic sovereignty and competing claims over Arctic lands and waters.
This document provides an overview and critique of realism and liberalism as international relations theories. It notes that realism views states as rational actors seeking power and security, with a competitive human nature. Realism is criticized for ignoring non-state actors and non-military forces. Liberalism emphasizes interaction between states and other actors as leading to a more cooperative world, but is critiqued for downplaying the importance of wars and reducing predictability. The document concludes by framing an evaluation of structural realism and liberalism, suggesting strengths and weaknesses be weighed with supporting evidence.
Diplomacy is defined as the art of conducting negotiations between parties in a sensitive manner. It usually refers to international relations and communications between countries. The goal of diplomacy is to further a state's interests through establishing independence, security, and maximizing advantage without using force. There are many types of diplomacy, including citizen, cultural, economic, and public diplomacy, each with a distinct purpose in international relations.
A thorough analysis on Samuel P. Huntington's, Clash of Civilizations. The presentation starts with some basic information on the writer, the nature and history of civilizations as well as the basic reasons of their conflict. It continues with presenting and criticizing specific topics imposed by the writer and ends with our own ideas and implications based on the work of Samuel P. Huntington.
The document discusses the Pakistan Movement which aimed to create Pakistan as a homeland for Muslims in British India. It outlines the two-nation theory that Muslims and Hindus constitute two distinct nations. Muhammad Ali Jinnah played a pivotal role in leading the movement and advocating for a separate Muslim state through his political career and the Lahore Resolution. Ultimately, Pakistan was established in 1947 as an independent nation for Muslims in the eastern and western regions of British India where they were the religious majority.
Nationalism is based on the idea that the nation is the central principle of political organization. There are differing views on what constitutes the basis for national identity, with primordial nationalists arguing it is based on common descent and culture, while civic nationalists see it as shared civic values and willingness to participate in the political community. Nationalism legitimizes government authority as representing popular self-government by and for the people of the nation. It addresses issues of collective identity and forges social bonds among the members of the nation.
Decolonization refers to the process by which colonies become independent nations. It occurred from 1945-1960 as countries that had been ruled by European colonial powers gained autonomy and self-governance. Key drivers of decolonization included nationalist movements inspired by leaders like Gandhi, contributions by colonies during World War 2, and the rise of ideologies supporting self-determination. The end of colonial rule had political, economic, and social consequences for newly independent nations.

This document discusses two assignments for a sociology course on India. The first assignment asks students to describe elements of unity and diversity in India and define tribes and their characteristics in India. The second assignment defines key sociological concepts like caste and ethnicity and asks students to discuss attributional approaches to studying caste and major ethnic movements in India.
National integration refers to developing a sense of unity and common identity among the diverse people of India. It is important for India given its diversity to protect from foreign threats, promote development and establish peace. Education plays a key role in fostering national integration by instilling feelings of patriotism and oneness. Educational institutions conduct activities like celebrating national days and organizing camps to inspire national devotion. However, challenges like communalism, regionalism, casteism, linguism, classism, narrow politics, and unemployment threaten national integration in India.

This document discusses the origins and rise of nationalism in the Muslim world. It begins by explaining how nationalism did not naturally arise in Muslim societies, but was rather deliberately planted there by European powers after they failed to defeat the Islamic state militarily. The document then details how European missionaries infiltrated Muslim lands starting in the 19th century and established missionary centers to sow discord and create civil strife by promoting nationalist identities over Islamic unity. Over time, this missionary movement had a major impact and directly contributed to the weakening of the Khilafah state and rise of nationalism in its place after the dissolution of the Khilafah in 1924.
This document provides an introduction to ethnicity in Sindh, Pakistan. It begins with dictionary definitions of ethnicity as relating to a common cultural tradition or origin. It then discusses ethnicity as a social group that shares cultural heritage, ancestry, language, religion, cuisine and other symbolic systems. Pakistan is described as a multiethnic country with over 60 languages spoken and dozens of ethnic groups residing within its borders. The largest ethnic groups are Punjabis, Pashtuns, Sindhis, Saraikis, Mohajirs, and Balochis. The document provides statistics on the main languages spoken in Pakistan and the percentages of the population that speak each as their native language.
The document discusses ethnic and racial identity and the importance of incorporating diversity in the classroom. The author believes a culturally responsive curriculum would help acknowledge and welcome students' diversity. As a future educator, they want to respect students' differences and model inclusive behavior to foster a positive learning environment where students respect each other as well. Some strategies discussed are showing interest in students' backgrounds, using counter-storytelling, displaying diverse leaders and celebrations, and decorating with pictures of various families.
Nationalism is exclusionary by definitionAzmiSuhaimi

This document discusses nationalism and its relationship to multicultural societies and individual rights. It begins by defining nationalism and noting its subjective nature. It then examines the differences between cultural nationalism, which can be exclusionary, and civic or political nationalism, which emphasizes shared citizenship. The document also explores the positive effects of civic nationalism but notes the negative impacts that ethnic or expansionist nationalism can have, like the conflicts in former Yugoslavia. It argues that nationalism is mutually exclusive with liberalism's emphasis on individual rights and freedoms when nationalism threatens the rights of minority groups or promotes intolerance. However, it qualifies this by stating nationalism is not definitively exclusionary.
National integration refers to a feeling that inspires all parts of a society to work together for national development. Nationalism involves a wider loyalty than just place, and includes ties like race, history, language, culture and tradition. Education is the most effective means for developing nationalism among citizens. Some benefits of education for nationalism include promoting political unity, social progress, economic progress, and cultural development, while obstacles include casteism, communalism, provincialism, and diverse languages. Suggestions for educational programs to promote national integration include scrutinizing school books, organizing events for different groups, and using media to promote unity.
This document discusses unity and diversity within societies and communities. It argues that unity and diversity can both be desirable qualities when balanced properly. Too much diversity without unity can divide a group, while too much unity without diversity risks intolerant thinking. The current state of affairs within a community, whether expected or unexpected developments, can impact this balance. Examples are given of how political divisions in the US and differences between social groups in India relate to finding the right balance between unity and shared values while also accepting cultural diversity.
The document discusses educational programs that can promote national integration in India. It suggests reorienting school curriculum to emphasize national values like patriotism. It also recommends celebrating national days and respecting the national flag to inculcate nationalism. Co-curricular activities focusing on communal harmony and field trips exposing students to different cultures can help break barriers. Celebrating all religious festivals in schools can foster mutual respect between religions.
This thesis examines the factors that have contributed to the formation of Maasai ethnic identity and social mobilization in Kenya. It analyzes how the Maasai, as one of the smallest ethnic groups, engage in political claim-making based on a history of land dispossession and marginalization. Through interviews and fieldwork, the study seeks to understand the perspectives, experiences and strategies that drive collective action within the Maasai community and characterize their political movement. Adopting a new constitution in 2010 calling for greater minority representation and devolution of power to counties, the current political environment provides an opportunity to study how the Maasai experience this moment and how it relates to their history of marginalization.
This document discusses approaches to ethnicity, including primordialism, instrumentalism, and constructivism. It outlines topics like defining others, instrumental states, and peace time nationalism. Criticism of instrumentalism is also presented. Ethnicity involves personal identity and group ties. States can manipulate ethnic identities for political goals and gain power. While nationalism strengthens states, some argue ethnicity is more deeply rooted than just political interests.
National integration in Pakistan faces several challenges, including language issues, regional identities, ideological differences, sectarianism, extremism, and economic disparity. The language conflict between Urdu and Bengali in East Pakistan contributed to its secession as Bangladesh in 1971. Growing regional identities in places like Sindh, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have also posed integration challenges. Additionally, disagreements over Pakistan's ideological identity and the role of Islam, as well as sectarian divisions and extremism, have hampered national unity. Economic development that is uneven across Pakistan's regions has exacerbated feelings of alienation as well. Strong political participation and representation of all groups is needed to strengthen national integration
This document outlines the components and principles of peace education, including education for nonviolence, multicultural education, and sustainable development. It discusses teaching peace at the individual, school, national, and global levels. The document also covers the dimensions of human rights education such as respecting human dignity and diversity. It recommends promoting peace and human rights through seminars, workshops, and community initiatives to overcome obstacles like lack of awareness and teacher training. Peace and human rights education are concluded to be closely linked and essential for realizing rights and learning to live together.
This document discusses the importance of considering culture and diversity when implementing prevention programs. It defines culture as the knowledge, experiences, values, and skills that are passed down from experienced community members to new members. Carriers of culture include families, religious organizations, and professional groups. The document emphasizes learning about the cultural experiences, values, beliefs, and practices of different groups in order to provide culturally competent prevention programs.
1. The document discusses ethnicity, demography, and their relationship in Africa. It defines key concepts like African studies, ethnicity, ethnic identity, and demography.
2. Major ethnic groups in Africa include Arabic-speaking groups of around 180 million and subgroups defined by shared culture, identity, and distinctions from the dominant society.
3. Demography is the study of population size, distribution, and composition, while ethnicity describes shared culture within ethnic subgroups. Understanding the relationship between demography and ethnicity in Africa requires ethnodemographic analysis.
1) National integration in India aims to promote unity among people of different cultures, races, castes and religions in the country. It encourages sharing of ideas and values to strengthen emotional bonds between people.
2) India is a diverse country with many regions, languages and cultures. Maintaining unity amid this diversity is important for national integrity. However, forces like communalism, racism and religious fanaticism have led to tensions and violence between groups.
3) Measures like expanding education, encouraging migration and interaction between groups, and promoting national symbols through media can help strengthen national integration in India's multi-lingual society. Teachers and students have an important role to play as well through
This document discusses ethnicity and ethnic groups in Pakistan. It defines ethnicity as shared characteristics that distinguish a group. The major ethnic groups in Pakistan are Punjabis, Sindhis, Pashtuns, Muhajirs, and Balochis. Ethnocentrism is examined, which is the view that one's own ethnic group is superior. Ethnocentrism can have positive effects like social solidarity, but also negative effects like creating prejudice and limiting social relations between groups. In conclusion, while ethnocentrism promotes group cohesion, it can also lead to actively despising other ethnic groups.
Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious society that requires social cohesion and harmony among ethnic groups to ensure peace. However, several incidents in the past like the Maria Hertogh riots in 1950 and racial riots in 1964 showed how easily harmony could be disrupted. The government has implemented strategies like building a national identity through multiracialism, safeguarding minority rights, and developing common spaces through public housing and education to prevent conflicts and promote social cohesion.
