Beginning with this text, we present the results of a theoretical examination of national construction that was elaborated within the context of the Nationalities Watch research group.

We argue that national communities result from the international integration of the productive system and the widespread dissemination of so-called modern values.

Different events which happened in Europe made not only Europeans but people all over the world think that the efforts for creating a unified Europe, and a global village is threatening national identities and livelihoods. Although globalization is considered as a buzzword of modern era, nationalism, too, is very much alive in its own way. Nationalism is not only expected to persist but also increase and intensify in response to and in opposition to forces of globalization. Thus according to Anthony Giddens, “the revival of local nationalisms, and an accentuating of local identities, is directly bound up with globalizing influences, to which they stand in opposition.”(Giddens, 1994:5).Therefore this paper will try to answer the question: Is there a link between nationalism and globalization? Can these two forces be complementary rather than contradictory? Is their existence a battle of winners and losers? The paper will shortly see the pros and cons and the implications of these for...

In the book Sapiens, A Brief History of Humankind Yuval Noah Harari suggests 'imagined constructs' as an effective mechanism to ensure cooperation among strangers. Benedict Anderson, who defined a nation as a community that "is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communion" would not entirely disagree. However any imagined reality is not necessarily static or constant. It metamorphoses to assume varied forms determined by topical and contemporary influences. Abidingly, idea of nationalism has ceaselessly evolved with the times. This account aims to understand and analyze • how nationalism has metamorphosed to become in the modern times, • subsequently arguing that Nationalism is still a very much relevant force as opposed to what the phenomenon of globalization may lead us to believe citing the examples of rise of contemporary nationalism in different parts of the world and • how vital a role social media has come to play in nationalism.
