RENAISSANCE OF THE ETHNIC NATIONALISMS IN WESTERN EUROPE

Abstract

The article examines contemporary ethnic nationalism in the industrialized countries of Europe. Taking the ideas of A. Smith’s theory of “waves of ethnic nationalism” as a methodical basis the study substantiates the thesis that its modern activation should be interpreted as a renaissance on the territory of the Western Europe. Due to the comparative analysis of the contemporary manifestations of ethnic nationalism in the UK, Spain, Belgium, Italy and France, it is concluded that they differ from the nationalisms of state nations and are divided into autonomist and liberation, while the last one – into separatist and irredentist. The paper states that some of the analyzed national movements are characterized by nationalism as a meta-ideology, which unites the ideologically different political forces by the idea of independence.
