NATIONALISM IN EUROPE: MAIN TYPOLOGIES AND CONTEMPORARY MANIFESTATIONS, 2016

Nationalism can be defined as the most widespread modern political ideology. It has been the subject of research and debate for decades, but regarding it as a phenomenon, there can be a different sense. Furthermore, its meaning has a different emotional charge. Historically, there have been various manifestations of nationalism caused by a number of purposes - in some cases, it can help build a unified state, while in other cases it may appear as a factor of disintegration of large state formations. These manifestations are determined depending on the so called starting points - specific situation, age, political situation, etc. Contemporary nationalism manifesting nowadays in Europe, is mainly associated with the European integration deepening processes and the effects of the globalization. Extreme forms of nationalism, manifestations of which have been increasing in recent years, create peculiar barriers for the processes of enlargement and integration, as well as the successful implementation of European policies. Understanding nationalism is key when clarifying many social conflicts with dominant place in contemporary daily round.

This article challenges a set of common assumptions and misconceptions about nationalism and globalization. First, nationalism and globalization are historically entwined and reinforcing processes, and not fundamentally opposed to each other. Second-and closely related-the modern nation-state is premised on interdependence of economic and political forms of power, not their opposition. Third, nation-states are highly variable in their powers, resources, and alignments, and form an evolving system, making it difficult to say anything sensible about the "fate of the nation-state" in the abstract. Fourth, the variable composition of national identities and cultures is considerably more complex than a dichotomy between "ethnic" and "civic" types might suggest. Together, these arguments point toward the continuing need for an understanding of global processes as an outcome of the negotiation of powers between nation-states, not as autonomous shaping forces over and above nation-states.

However, this peace should be understood in the sense of Orwellian doublespeak. The Westphalian system ushered in a new series of national wars for hegemony in Europe and in colonies -and through a number of local wars, Napoleonic campaign, Franco-Prussian war , this process went on upto the two world wars in the twentieth century, and even beyond that up to the present time.
