National Thought in Europe
Week 1 – 4 September 2017

Definition of national thought

• “humankind is naturally divided into cultural communities called nations”
• “one’s primary political loyalty is towards one’s nation”
• “national concord is the state’s strongest foundation”
• “a state containing various nations is weak”
• “a nation divided over different states is unnatural”




Map of Europe before the unification of Germany (1870-1871)

o Nation means to be born somewhere (like in a family or tribe).
o In the French revolution, the common people decided for the first time what being a
nation really meant, instead of the aristocrats.
o European nation building is unique due to the focus on culture. This means that
European nation building is different from African and Asian nations.
o Democracy is in danger when there is no room for diversity.
o France does not recognize minorities. Everybody has to be French and speak the
language. After the French revolution, they said that the country had to be unified.
o A nation is nothing else than the will of the people.

,Nationalism

• “there should be a 1-on-1 congruence between nation and state:
▪ 1 state for each nation, 1 nation for each state”
• “state borders should be mapped onto cultural (ethnolinguistic) frontiers”
• “ethnic conflict is to be solved by territorial division”
o The European Union should have been the solution to border conflicts within the
European continent, however, this is now under pressure.
o A state is a political geographical unity, that has the right to use violence legitimately
against its own citizens.
o A nation are the people living in a state (mostly), who identify themselves through
culture as a group.

19th century consequences

A single cultural community divided over various states:
• The divided nation attempts to unite.

A single state containing various cultural communities:
• (scenario 1) The state attempts to “tame” cultural diversity (centralism).
• (scenario 2) The state’s control is challenged (separatism).

Borders and frontiers

State borders:
- Sharp demarcations
- Reflect changeable power relations

Cultural frontiers:
- Transitional zones
- Reflect transgenerational private lifestyles

Centuries overview

Kings vs. nobility: absolutist centralization and state-formation. Wars of religion. First
systematizations of ideas about “national character”.
