Summary: | |
Nationalism demands that states be ruled by representatives of the nation, rather than by a dynasty in the name of an imperial civilization. Over the past 250 years, nationalism has radically transformed the political world, generating many of the wars between and within states during this period. This talk highlights the mechanisms and pathways through which the global spread of nationalism has led to wars, as well as the recurring patterns that emerge across different times and contexts. It also includes two short excursus aimed at understanding the Ukraine war and the Gaza conflict from a global comparative and long-term historical perspective. |
