IMAGINING GEOGRAPHY: NATION AND NATIONALISM

Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 55

Abstract

Nation and nationalism have always been controversial concepts for researchers. This paper aims to provide some valuable insights into this controversial research domain, in order to create a clearer perspective to understand and study nations and nationalisms. This paper scrutinises a wide range of literature in the nationalism studies. It has identified three main questions in nationalism studies and reviewed the answers to these questions so as to draw a conceptual framework that can be used as an analytical tool to approach and examine nations and nationalisms. The paper begins with exploring the meanings of the terms ‘nation’ and ‘nationalism’ in the literature. It, then, seeks the origins of nations and nationalism. Finally, it identifies some existing typologies of nationalism in the literature.
