| | Nation-state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | However, in countries divided into multiple states such as Germany or Italia, the sense of a common membership to the same cultural movement, as in the Volkisch movement, can be said to be nationalism, and in this case precedes the unification of the various states into the German or the Italian state. | | | The nation-state implies the parallel occurrence of a state and a nation. | | | In the ideal nation-state, the population consists of the nation and only of the nation: the state not only houses it, but protects it and its national identity (i.e., they coincide exactly): every member of the nation is a permanent resident of the nation-state, and no member of the nation permanently resides outside it. |

| | Nation-state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The origins of the nation state are to be found in the expanding core of France under Philip IV, and of England, once it had shed its extra-territorial claims in Gascony and Aquitaine and gained a national consciousness, a sense of "Englishness". | | | If we consider state nationality, more states could claims to be nation-states; Belgium contains the Flemish and ethnic nations, but holds just one state nationality. | | | Over the last few centuries, most states have claimed to be nation states in order to increase the patriotism of their citizens. |

| | The Georgian - South Ossetian Conflict, chapter 5 |
| | These were defined as nation states, with the exception of the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic, which was defined as a multinational state. | | | Expressed nationalism outside of the Party elite was not tolerated, there existed a well-developed system of control which made attempts at nationalism on the part of local political elites very risky and unlikely (Zaslavsky 1993, p.37). | | | In Transcaucasus local party elites created a corrupt system of favouritism of the members of the titular nationality, which meant discrimination against minority ethnic groups living within the homelands of other ethnic groups (Suny 1990, p.24 and Roeder 1991, p.208); the seeds to inter-ethnic conflict were sowed. |

| | The military, which sees itself as the ultimate guardian of the principles of Kemalism, has intervened in the political process on four occasions—in 1960, 1971, 1980, and 1997—because it feared that political parties posed a threat to the secular nature of the state. | | | Turkey borders the Aegean Sea and Greece on the west; Bulgaria on the northwest; the Black Sea on the north; Georgia, Armenia, and the autonomous Azerbaijani republic of Naxçivan on the northeast; Iran on the east; and Iraq, Syria, and the Mediterranean Sea on the south. | | | Turkey is also a democratic, rapidly modernizing society. |

| | Delanty: Beyond the Nation-State |
| | I have argued that the new nationalism is new to the extent that it is a nationalism that is unleashed against the state which is perceived to have abandoned the nation. | | | between civic nationalism and ethno-cultural nationalism, whereby the former refers to membership of a political community and is primarily defined by reference to the state and the latter refers to membership of a cultural historical community, it is apparent that the great modernizing expressions of civic nationalism are today being over-shadowed by ethnic-cultural nationalism. | | | The new nationalism, then, I am claiming, may be more a response to the crisis of the welfare state which is perceived to be unable to provide for all (Kitschelt, 1996). |

| | The instrument that the nation uses to protect its territory is the State. | | | Already in 1903 his mentor Vladimir Lenin had written that ‘the Jews have ceased to be a nation, for a nation without a territory is unthinkable’. | | | In Latvia and Estonia the clear predominance of the titular population in political life is of course primarily secured through the exclusionary citizenship policies, but these policies by themselves do not provide the whole explanation for the political overrepresentation of the titulars. |

| | The Georgian - South Ossetian Conflict, chapter 6 |
| | The recent rise of nationalism can therefore be interpreted as a result of the fact that the state did not fulfil its promises in respect to economic gain and welfare, and as a consequence of the economic crises, in the 1980s, the Soviet Union collapsed. | | | The South Ossetians stress that the Georgian national movement worked for a state for the Georgians with no place for the minorities. | | | Here it is interesting to note that nationalism as defined by Hobsbawm and Gellner, as a political principle, which holds that the political and the national unit should be congruent, would mean that the South Ossetians should opt for independence, this, as we have seen, was not the case. |

| | Rather, the political rise of Islam should be seen as a political struggle for state control in a mutually constitutive interaction with the changed (or, changing) circumstances of the nation-state project. | | | State regulation of consumption patterns was to be the basis for the heavy industrialization project which was thought to be the root of state autonomy both from large industrial and trading interests of Istanbul region, who Erbakan defined as "comprador-masonic minority" (Saribay, 1985: 98-99), and from the Western economic and political domination (Oguz, 1994: 105-117). | | | Secular nationalism came to be seen as modern and western, and, therefore, internal to the nation-state project; anything which was associated with Islam was presented as backward, reactionary and eastern, and, therefore, external to modernity. |

| | With 7,200 members, Senecas are a tiny fraction of the state's 19 million people, but more and more the Indian nation's voice carries far from the forested hills of its three western New York reservations, affecting policy on issues including taxes, casinos, land claims, even sovereignty. | | | A mortgage plan is crucial to getting Senecas into homes, Armstrong said, since banks traditionally deny loans to reservation dwellers because they cannot foreclose on land set aside for the nation in a 1794 treaty. | | | "While differences remain and negotiations with the Senecas and other tribes are very complex, the governor believes we must continue the path of cooperation and avoid confrontation," spokesman Todd Alhart said. |

| | United States politics, in particular, has long had a current that claims to believe it is their moral obligation to free nations from dictators and undemocratic regimes. | | | For example, as of 2004 the government of the People's Republic of China claims to remain on the "left," despite an evolution that has brought it quite close to what is elsewhere characterized as "right," supporting national cultural traditions, the interests of wealth, and privately owned industry. | | | These leftist groups argue that the US has a history of supporting foreign dictatorships where that support is seen as being in the "national interest", both throughout the Cold War and (in such cases as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Uzbekistan) during the present "War on Terror". |

| | Rich Lowry on nation building & war on National Review Online |
| | The United States, together with the United Nations, brokered the end of the fighting, and in so doing dictated in very specific terms the shape of the country's future political-civil life, from elections, to the composition of the police force, to the working of its judiciary. | | | This raises what should be another attraction of nation building for conservatives: it operates on the idea that the hoariest of Wilsonian ideals, self-determination, has its limits in the Third World, and that the West — at least when it comes to political organization and values — knows best. | | | Haiti and Somalia represented acts of international do-goodism so far removed from the national interest that no one was willing to make the sacrifices of blood, treasure, and sheer effort to set up and support decent governments in those places. |

| | One possible explanation is that, in building these interim regimes, the United States facilitated the rise of the military, a key state institution, as a potent political power. | | | But nation building generally requires the long-term commitment of ground forces, which are used either to depose the regime targeted by the United States or to maintain a regime that it favors. | | | If we apply this yardstick, the United States’s overall success rate in democratic nation building is about 26 percent (four out of fifteen cases). |
