International political community: Nationalism1) Introduction
i. "This term is used in two related senses. In the first usage,
nationalism seeks to identify a behavioral entity - the nation -
and thereafter to pursue certain political and cultural goals on

the international community.
ii. There is no simple sequence leading either from nationalism
to nation-state formation to changes in the global political
order or the other way round.
iii. There is no single, dominant form of nationalism. Instead it
can take ethnic, civic, and other forms, be elite or popular,
strengthen or subvert existing states.
iv. The best place to start is with the central political actors.
These are the most important state or states in each historical
phase.
3) Evolution of Nationalism
i. The political ideology of states matters most because they have
the most power and others tend to respond to their power and
ideologies. At the start of our history global conflict is shifting
