Climate obstruction and nationalism: A conceptual map
Nationalism is notoriously an ideology that can fit opposite ideological and political necessities. Since 2020, an emerging literature exploring nationalism’s connections with climate change has developed. Yet, nationalism’s role in the decisive practice of climate obstruction has hitherto not been conceptually mapped. This integrative review inductively analyses various forms of nationalism, focusing on each form’s role in climate obstruction an…
Fossil fascism: The supreme form of climate obstruction
The last decade witnessed a proliferation of literature on far-right nationalism and climate obstruction. Scholars referred to “fossil fascism” to discuss these trends. This article emphasises fossil fascism’s weaponisation of intermediary institutions to advance a gendered and racialised vision of society that feeds off fossil fuels. This aspect, we argue, distinguishes fossil fascism from other conceptualisations of the so-called “backlash” aga…

Eco-fascism: An oxymoron? Far-right nationalism, history, and the climate emergency
Can we conceive of a continuity in the way right-wing nationalisms address environmental issues from the origins of fascism to the currently ongoing global “polycrisis”? This article explores the use of the term “eco-fascism” in connection with the climate crisis and considers the political relationship between ecologism and the contemporary far right through a historical perspective, seeking to determine persisting patterns in the relationship b…
Homogenocene: Defining the Age of Bio-cultural Devastation (1493–Present)
The entrance into the Anthropocene Epoch has pushed historians and social scientists to reconsider human history through new lenses and along an entirely different timeline. For historians, the notion of the Anthropocene can be seen as an overarching category superimposed on the usual chronological divisions into ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary history. In social sciences in general, the notion of the Anthropocene has been embraced, o…
Barcelona, Naples and Salonika: Ethnic and Civic Nationalism in Three Mediterranean Port Cities (1888–1915)
How far is port cities’ cosmopolitan inclination reflected in the type of nationalism prevailing in the surrounding area or region? How do these relationships change in different timeframes, one determined by nationalist modernization, the other by neoliberal globalization? This article attempts to respond to this question by looking at three Northern Mediterranean port cities (Barcelona, Naples, and Salonica) in two different time settings: the …

Gellner in the Anthropocene: Modernity, Nationalism and Climate Change
Which Nationalism for the Anthropocene? A Comparative Study of Exemplary Green Nation-States
This article poses, and attempts to answer, two correlated questions: (1) Is nationalism, the dominant ideology in our world of nation-states, compatible with the struggle to halt or minimize climate change and related environmental catastrophes? and (2) Which form(s) of government, whether or not informed by nationalist ideology, could better address the most serious threat to human life that currently appears on the horizon? This article puts f…
Green nationalism. Climate action and environmentalism in left nationalist parties
Climate change is arguably the single most important political issue in the world today. As yet, however, there has been little research on the relationship between climate change and nationalism. In this contribution we investigate the possible existence of a ‘green nationalism’ among progressive and social democratic sub-state nationalist parties in minority nations. We identify an uncharted rhetorical and ideological continuity between how cli…
The Left and nationalism: From the French Revolution to the Anthropocene
This chapter looks at the left/right divide in relation to nationalism as a constitutive aspect of modern politics. It locates their simultaneous origins during the French Revolution, with the ascent of the bourgeoisie as the dominant class and the conflict-ridden advent of ‘democratic’ politics. Since the Revolution, the left has remained symmetrically opposed to the right in the shaping of parliaments and other representative institutions. Abou…
Después de la pandemia: Claves para una transición
The coronavirus pandemic has prompted many countries to adopt drastic and draconian measures. This article attempts to answer a question: is it at all desirable to return to the status quo ante once most economic activities fully resume? I propose here to reconnect the ‘debatable’ with the ‘debated’, that is, what was discussed in some sectors until the day before the pandemic erupted: The climate marches of September 2019 mobilized millions of p…
The Ultimate Challenge: Nationalism and Climate Change
Climate change has rapidly expanded as a key topic of research across disciplines, but it has remained virtually untouched in nationalism studies. Climate change is a boundless, uncontainable phenomenon that ignores class, geographic, and ethnonational boundaries. As such, it can hardly be comprehended within the limits of a nationalist world vision. This article reassesses this intuition by focusing on the situational and adaptive plasticity of …
Rule of the unwise: Emotions and rationality in ethnonationalism
The Musical Bridge—Intercultural Regionalism and the Immigration Challenge in Contemporary Andalusia
The ideals of tolerance and cultural exchange associated with the interfaith past of Muslim Spain (al-Andalus) have become a symbol for Andalusian regionalism and for the integration of Moroccan communities. Nowhere is this more keenly felt than in the context of music. In cities such as Granada, Moroccan and Spanish musicians actively promote the ideals of intercultural dialogue through the performance of repertoires such as flamenco and Arab-An…
Reconfiguring the French nation: Public debates on the Left and national identity
Since the 1980s, neoliberal globalisation has shaped the fate of local and national cultural productions, from movies to music, from entertainment to food. How did French intellectual and political elites respond to this unprecedented challenge? What were the implications for the politics of nationalism and national identity? Two books respond to these questions, although in very different ways – the first directly and the second indirectly. Vinc…
Historia instantánea. El nuevo impulso historiográfico francés --o historia mundial en los tiempos de Twitter
En la Histoire mondiale de la France editada por Patrick Boucheron (2017), la noción de una identidad francesa fija y primordial ha sido desafiada por una nueva generación de historiadores donde una historia ‘cruzada’, ‘interconectada’, y vocacionalmente global, permanece al mismo tiempo anclada en lo nacional. La secuencia cronológica desentierra una red de narrativas nacionales, co-nacionales y transnacionales canalizadas por la creatividad, la…
Introduction: Why a state is not a nation – and whether economics really matters. Walker Connor 50 years on
The nation in the region: Flamenco andcanzone napoletanaas national icons in modern Spain and Italy (1880–1922)
Although the relationship between music and nationalism has been at the centre of recent cross‐disciplinary research, many areas remain unexplored. Among them are forms of ‘national music’ that nest overlapping identities, functioning simultaneously as vehicles of regional, ethnic, urban, global and diasporic belongings. This article focuses on the national dimension of these multilevel identities, concentrating on the swings and transmigrations …
In the Shadow of theBelle Époque: Progress, Decadence, and the Rush to War
At the turn of the twentieth century the philosophical theory of Positivism informed most intellectual, political, and cultural endeavors, permeating private and public discourse. People lived in t
A modernist beyond modernization theory: Walker Connor and his time
Walker Connor (1926–2017) was one of the finest twentieth-century thinkers in political science and a pioneer in the study of nationalism, having helped to identify some of the key issues and problems in his area of study. First and foremost, he finely diagnosed the misuse of the predominant terminology at the time; this was pervaded by the simplistic “modernization paradigm” with its unilinear vision of progress and unshakable faith in state-led…
Despite the crisis: The resilience of intercultural nationalism in Catalonia
Interculturalism provides the core framework for immigration‐related policies in Catalonia, while remaining deeply intertwined with Catalan nationalism. We first identify ‘intercultural nationalism’ as the core doctrine through which Catalan nationalist discourse has been articulated in relation to immigration. We trace interculturalism's origins to nationalism in Quebec and argue that, in Catalonia also, regional immigration policies have been c…

Homogenisation, nationalism and war: Should we still read Ernest Gellner
Is homogenising nationalism a consequence of industrialisation? This view has been most forcefully and systematically advanced by Ernest Gellner. The article contests this approach by focusing instead on militarism and militarisation. It therefore identifies the key role of the mass army as presaging the era of mass nationalism and cultural homogenisation. Drawing on a range of authors from history, sociology and political science, the relationsh…
Language or race: The choice of core values in the development of Catalan and Basque nationalisms
Using the concept of core values, this article sets forth a comparison between Catalan and Basque nationalisms. It uses the declarations on language made by the main leaders and intellectuals of the respective nationalist movements. While Catalan nationalism has given paramount importance to language since its inception, the Basque movement was beleaguered by an overall ambiguity and fluctuating attitude over the core values to be promoted. This …
Irresponsible Radicalisation: Diasporas, Globalisation and Long-Distance Nationalism in the Digital Age
The growing scholarship on ethnic diasporas has prompted various off-shoots. Two significant directions are the relationship of diasporas with globalisation and their role in the expansion and radicalisation of ethnic conflict. The corporate enthusiasm of the 1990s for globalisation has been followed by sombre reflections on its destructive impact upon a vast array of areas, including inter-ethnic relations worldwide. This article explores one cr…
Reassessing current theories of nationalism: Nationalism as boundary maintenance and creation
After a brief assessment of mainstream theories of nationalisms, the article focuses on those that stress boundary mechanisms. The classical division of theories of nationalism into primordialist and instrumentalist approaches is rejected, arguing that at least three more approaches can bring a distinctive contribution to the field: homeostatic, transactionalist and ethno‐symbolist. The article defines nationalism as a process of border creation …
Modernism and nationalism
Various scholars have addressed nationalism as a distinctive political ideology. The majority of them recognize it as a product of modernity and as inseparable from it. This article begins by accepting this view, identifying the spread of nationalism as part of a broader process of Westernization. However, the all-encompassing ideological dimension and common thread hovering above nationalism is identified here as modernism—that is, the sum of id…

We are all equals!' Militarism, homogenization and 'egalitarianism' in nationalist state-building (1789-1945)
Cultural homogenization has accompanied many of the most destructive processes of mass displacement during the Twentieth century. Its goal has been to make polity and citizens ethnically and culturally 'congruent'. This article questions the explanatory power of traditional accounts linking cultural homogenization with industrialization during state-building processes and the emergence of nationalism. It suggests that further attention must be pa…
Nationalism, Boundaries, and Violence
In an age of transient sovereignties, collapsing state frontiers, expanding hybridisation, ethnic amalgamation, cultural ITIlXmg, and ever-increasing communication, a remarkable interest in boundaries has sprung up. 'Boundary' and related terms have been in use since the dawning of disciplines like geography and history, yet their conceptualisation is relatively novel in other social sciences. This article will focus only on a particular, and inc…

Between the hammer of globalization and the anvil of nationalism: Is Europe's complex diversity under threat
Cultural diversity is very often conceived in relationship with the nation-state, but rarely problematized in tandem with transnational forces like political and economic globalization. The article begins by recognizing the need, and the difficulty, of studying both these forces simultaneously in relation to cultural diversity. As a supranational set of institutions, the European Union provides an ideal framework in which to assess the simultaneo…
Sovereignty in a Changing World: From Westphalia to Food Sovereignty
This article traces the shifting meaning of the notion of sovereignty from the modern age to the age of globalization and its aftermath, envisaging new constellations of sovereignty taking shape across the globe. Observing the term's centrality in the configuration of the modern nation-state and its epochal semantic shifts, it briefly examines the concept's ‘decline’ during the era of globalization. It then introduces the notion of ‘liquid sovere…
Majoritarian democracy and globalization versus ethnic diversity
While some types of democracy can sustain ethnic and cultural diversity, others can clearly undermine it. In The Dark Side of Democracy, Michael Mann argues that extreme crimes like genocide and ethnic cleansing tend to occur, or at least be legitimized, within a majoritarian democracy framework. This article broadens Mann's approach in two directions: first, it confirms that majoritarian democracy in plural societies can provide the pre-existing…
The Smooth Transition: Spain's 1978 Constitution and the Nationalities Question
Nationalist movements have played a key role in Spain's democratic transition, contributing decisively to frame the Spanish state in its present shape. This article will focus on the role of Constitution-making in providing the legitimacy needed in democratic transitions affected by the rise of sharp ethno-national conflicts. Among the contributing factors to the Transition's success the following are stressed: the Monarchy as a cohesive unitary …
Domino effect or internal developments? The influences of international events and political ideologies on Catalan and Basque nationalism
Although comparative studies of nationalism have recently experienced a resurgence, few attempts have been made to analyse the reciprocal influences exerted upon one another by nationalist movements. This article distinguishes between a domino effect which denotes a concrete change at the governmental level, and a demonstration effect which signifies more general influences on nationalist movements exerted by 'external' models. A comparative anal…

Subsistence societies, globalisation, climate change and genocide: Discourses of vulnerability and resilience
Anthropogenic climate change poses the possibility of total human extinction. Subsistence societies, however, have been threatened with extinction primarily as a consequence of systemic development for a very long time. Recent genocide scholarship, more particularly in relation to indigenous peoples, has engaged with some of these issues, even while terminologies such as ethnocide, cultural genocide, and indigenocide may suggest a restricted f…
Eco-fascism: An oxymoron? Far-right nationalism, history, and the climate emergency
Can we conceive of a continuity in the way right-wing nationalisms address environmental issues from the origins of fascism to the currently ongoing global “polycrisis”? This article explores the use of the term “eco-fascism” in connection with the climate crisis and considers the political relationship between ecologism and the contemporary far right through a historical perspective, seeking to determine persisting patterns in the relationship b…
Anarchism, Modernism, and Nationalism: Futurism's French Connections, 1876-1915
This article examines two of the most significant Italian political movements at the turn of the twentieth century—anarchism and Futurism. Although these movements shared a common vocabulary and rhetoric, they contrasted sharply in their aims and objectives. I address three interrelated questions: How were these movements and their ideologies related to, and perceived by, the ruling elites? What were their mutual influences and inspirational cent…

Art, Nationalism and War: Political Futurism in Italy (1909–1944)
Futurism was launched as a revolutionary, iconoclastic movement encompassing the arts, politics and society. It rejected all ties with the past and preached with missionary zeal the advent of a new man and the total reconstruction of society. Despite its powerful impact on Italian politics, the importance of Futurism has scarcely been addressed in the social sciences. Yet, it continues to attract the interest of historians, literary critics and a…

Book reviewed: Gellner, Ernest, Language and Solitude: Wittgenstein, Malinowski, and the Habsburg dilemma
Demo-Skepticism and Genocide
Genocide studies have expanded rapidly over the last twenty years, impelled by events such as the Bosnian and Rwandan tragedies and aided by the interdisciplinary confluence between comparative politics, history, anthropology and other social sciences. The challenge from historical sociology is particularly meaningful and few scholars are better equipped to achieve this task than Michael Mann. His explanation, linking genocide to ‘democracy‘, is …
Can nationalism studies and ethnic/racial studies be brought together
In order to overcome the conceptual debacle facing both Nationalism Studies and Ethnic/Racial Studies, we have to make sense of the terminological ambiguities still hampering mutual comprehension. This short article will focus on the common ground shared by the two disciplines, both of which participate in a common interest in ethnicity. Most of my theoretical sources admittedly consist of nationalism studies and ethnic conflict literature. On th…

Central secession: Towards a new analytical concept? The case of former Yugoslavia
Political literature customarily defines secession as a movement developing in the periphery against the centre. This article questions this common assumption by raising the possibility that secession may be propelled by the centre. A working definition of 'central secession' (or 'secessionism by the centre') will be limited to those cases where a powerful nationalist movement operates from within the core or dominant nation(ality). The focus wil…

Democracy, Nationalism and Culture: A Social Critique of Liberal Monoculturalism
Does liberal democracy provide an ideal framework for solving nationalist disputes? Or is rather democracy more conductive to nationalism and conflict? No definitive answer can be given to this broadly formulated question. However, the trend in the scholarly literature has recently pointed towards the latter direction. This article first introduces the ‘demo‐skeptical turn’, which has emerged across disciplines in the study of democratic transiti…
Asymmetry in Quasi-federal and Unitary States
In his four-fold typology, John McGarry indicates Canada, post-Soviet Russia and Spain as standard examples of 'regional and plurinational federations' (RPNFs). He dedicates most space to this variant, chiefly because of its more successful record. In order to test McGarry's hypothesis, I focus on Spain as an example of a quasi-federal setting and Italy as an instance of unitary state. In agreement with McGarry, I show that asymmetric arrangement…
