Nationalism vs. The History of Nationalism. Nationalism Since the Great Recession. How Economic Nationalism Is Different. Both can be presented on a dimension. On one pole of this dimension are persons showing a high power orientation, low people orientation, and strong hostility toward outgroups; on the other pole are persons showing low power orientation, high people orientation, and no or very little hostility to outgroups.
According to the authors, people-oriented identification means identifications with people as individual human beings, independently of their social status or power, and power-oriented identification means an identification with symbols of power and authority, that is, with events, institutions, persons, or any other objects in so far as they are perceived as representing power and authority.
Each group nourishes its own pride and vanity, boasts superior, exalts its own divinities, and looks with contempt on outsiders. They do not overlap completely. I have witnessed many a time this kind of switching from one nationalism to another during the most recent clashes among the ethnonational groups in the Balkans.
About the mythopoeic dimension of nationalism see Smith If there is no suitable past, it can always be invented The past legitimizes. Many scholars consider nationalism to be one of the forms of historicist culture cf. Breuilly, ; Smith, , and others. In comparing the popularity of the nationalist and Marxist explications of human suffering, Moore points to the general advantage of nationalism.

Retaliation is far less likely than in the case of an attack on local power-holders. For that reason too the attack is much more likely to attract diverse social support.
There are many aspects of the relationship between religion and nationalism. We will mention but a few of them. Nationalism is a substitute for religion. The binding force of nationalism plays the role which religious beliefs used to perform. Nationalism and proletarianism are secularized alternatives to the surviving religious patterns, answering to the need of personalities to restabilize themselves in a mobile world.
The intellect constructs a speculative theology or mythology of nationalism. The emotions arouse a joy and an ecstasy in the contemplation of the national god who is all-god and all-protecting, a longing for his favors, a thankfulness for his benefits, a fear of offending him, and feelings of awe and reverence at the immensity of his power and wisdom; they express themselves naturally in worship, both private and public.
For nationalism, again like any other religion, is social, and its chief rites are public rites performed in the name and for the salvation of a whole community. Religion is a political extension of traditional religions. Smith, The notion of political religion in the sense in which Apter uses this term in some way exemplifies this aspect of the relationship between religion and nationalism. Reconciliation systems a government of laws and not of humans are undergoing, according to this author, a crisis intensified by the secularization of the religious sphere.
This was the Nazi solution in Germany, and the Fascist solution in Italy. In this respect political religion is at least partly employed for nonreligious objectives.

With nationalism, this is clearly not happening. To be sure, the broad relationships outlined here ought to be further dissected. Perhaps nationalism does not matter much when we account for a host of other factors, such as educational levels and natural resources. A debate could be had about whether nationalism is helpful or simply harmless. At the very least, though, we must move past the simplistic notion that nationalism is only dangerous.
What it is, is misunderstood. Of course, scholars can persist in looking down on nationalism as a backward, unevolved reflex, and governments could continue to fail to develop policies that harness its potential.
But this alternative carries a heavy cost. It allows opportunistic leaders and demagogues to control the future of nationalism. If responsible policymakers have in their hands something proven to encourage increased wealth, lower levels of corruption, and higher obedience to the rule of law, they would only be wise to use it.
Shusha was the key to the recent war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Now Baku wants to turn the fabled fortress town into a resort. Feature Is Nationalism Good for You?
