What is important in nationalism Is that
popular consciousness be a decisive factor
in the state. It Is not necessary that this
popular consciousness exercise Its power
through democratic processes.
Poses Problem
Those who are wary Of nationalism, and
Of the excuses to which it can lead, often
point out the problem that it poses with
regard to the setting up Of world govern
ment. They say that nationalism stresses
parochial or local loyalties, and erects cul-
tural differences into barriers against any
movement toward worldwide political uni
fication.
They have. no doubt, put their finger on
real problem here, but don't think that
it Is an insurmountable one After all.
national units. like individuals, are not nee
essarily hostile to all others. The self
interest Of a national unit is more often
enhanced by cooperation than by hostility
Cooperation can lead to coalition. And
coalition, far from being opposed by nation
alism, Is made possible by 1t.

that some attempt to define 1t be made
For better or for worse. this concept has
been and, for some time, viii be one OF the
major factors in determining the course OF
our individual and collective lives.
Variation on Old Theme
Part Of the confusion results from the
insistence that nationalism Is an entirely
new phenomenon. But Is not nationalism
Just o recent variation on the theme OF
political solidarity, theme which Is as
old as society itself? What contemporary
nationalism has In common with older
forms Of political solidarity Is more impor-
tant than what Is peculiar to 1t.
Mans political nature has expressed
itself in q variety of ways in the course Of
history: the family, the tribe or clan, the
feudaI fief, the religious sect, the city
state, the dynasty or empire, and the ma
tion-state. Historical circumstances have
led men to fulfill their political needs in
different ways, but those basic needs have
never changed. Nationalism Is only the
most current way in which men are trying
to meet them.
Common Historical Traditions
In general, nationalism is a cohesive
feeling that unites any group Of persons
who constitute. or think they constitute.
distinct political group. In addition. those
who are infused with nationalism regard
their devotion to the nation-state as prior
to all other secular loyalties.
There are other characteristics which
are sometimes but not GliDdys present in
current nationalism. The nation state Is
fairly large 1t has a centralized political
and economic administration. The people
Of the nation-state cherish common his
torical traditions and believe that they
are more or less racially homogeneous. With
regard to the last Of these, 1t should be
