Abstract

This chapter briefly introduces scholarly debates in the field of nationalism, on the one hand, still split between modernists and their critics, and on the other, divided over the nature, typology and history of the nation and nationalism. It also proposes to distinguish between “civic” and “territorial nationalisms” in its own theoretical approach to the ethnic/civic dichotomy, taking into the account critiques of civic nationalism, in order to apply the dichotomy to the research puzzle.
