Comparative Nationalism
Begin your paper with a discussion of the much-debated definition of nationalism, including an explanation of the difference between patriotism and nationalism. Punctuate these definitions with detailed examples from American politics. The rest of the paper should be comparative research of nationalist developments in other parts to the world with a historical perspective on the events that led to those developments.
The following should be addressed:
– What is the difference between nationalism and patriotism?
– Describe the rise of nationalism in one European Country and compare those events and values to the rise of nationalism in the U.S.
– Which came first, a rise in neo-nationalism in the U.S. or in Europe for example?
– Did one set of events influence another?
– Now, with a better understanding of the definitions and developments, is the rise of nationalism at home and abroad a concern for liberal democracies? Why or why not?
