9. These are the main types of nationalism:
ETHNIC NATIONALISM
• Ethnic nationalism is also known as ethno-nationalism, is a form of nationalism
where in the “nation” is defined in terms of ethnicity.
• It also includes ideas of a culture shared between members of the group and with
their ancestors, and usually a shared language.
• The state derives political legitimacy from its status as homeland of the ethnic
group, and from its duty to protect of the partly national group and facilitate its
family and social life, as a group.

10. CIVIC NATIONALISM
• Civic nationalism is also known as Liberal nationalism.
• Civic nationalism is the form of nationalism in which the state derives political
legitimacy from the active participation of its citizenry, from the degree to which it
represents the “will of the people”.
• According to the principles of civic nationalism, the nation is not based on common
ethnic ancestry, but is a political entity whose core identity is not ethnicity.
CULTURAL NATIONALISM
• Cultural nationalism defines the nation by shared culture.
• Cultural nationalism has been described as a variety of nationalism that is neither
purely civic nor ethnic.
• The nationalisms of Catalonia, Quebec and Flanders have been described as cultural.

sense of purpose and destiny.

politics or socialism with nationalism.

belief where a shared religion can be seen to contribute to a sense of national

17. WHY
NATIONAL
ISM IS
IMPORTAN
T?
 People have naturally organized themselves
into groups based on common interests and
goals.
 People who speak the same language, share the
same ethnicity or faith, or happen to be like-
minded politically, or any combination of those
things, might want to have their own country
and a government of their choosing, which
represents the things they wish to preserve,
emphasize, and grow.

18. This can happen in any number of ways, for any number of reasons:
 The United States of America was formed as a Republic based on the concepts of Classical Liberalism.
We have generally welcomed people from all around the world who wish to help us build a nation on
those principles.
 The State of Israel was formed as a nation-state for people of the Jewish religion and ethnicity, so they
could have a safe and secure homeland.
 Between 1859 and 1870, the various peoples of the small states that made up the Italian ethnic and
linguistic community all overthrew their governments and united under one, becoming the modern
nation-state of Italy.
 The Republic of Kosovo seceded from Serbia in 2008 based on self-determination for the majority
ethnic Albanian population of that region.

19. CONT.
 Those are just a few examples from world history. I could go on all day and night
with this. But there’s one thing that needs to be noted Nationalism is NOT dying.
It is stronger than ever.
 And even more importantly than either of those reasons is the simple fact
that nationalism makes sense. Seriously, who knows what is best for France? The
people of France, or people in South Korea? Who knows what’s best for Japan?
The Japanese, or the Spanish? But globalists don’t get this simple fact. They all
dream of a one-world government, but what happens when that one-world
government passes regulations that don’t work for some part of the world, and
cause a breakdown of the economy or maybe even their entire society? Then you
have the mother of all civil wars on your hands.
