This paper sets out to investigate the relationship between nationalism and democracy. and aims to distinguish different types of ethnic mobilization with a democratic. nation-state. To clarify the relationship between nationalism and democracy two. variants of nationalism (ethnic and civic nationalism) are distinguished. We find that. civic nationalism creates better conditions for democracy that ethnic nationalism, while weak nationalism creates better conditions than strong nationalism.
Nationalism must be distinguished from patriotism. Patriotism is fundamental to liberty because pride in oneâs nation-state, and a willingness to defend it if necessary, is the basis of national independence. Patriotism is the courage of national self-determination. By contrast, nationalism is patriotism transformed into a sentiment of superiority and aggression toward other countries. Nationalism is the poisonous idea that oneâs country is superior to somebody elseâs. Nationalism is intrinsically a cause of war and imperialism.
