why is nation and nationality important
Answers
Answer:
Guibernau (1996, p. 47) has defined the nation as: ‘a human group conscious of forming a community, sharing a common culture, attached to a clearly demarcated territory, having a common past and a common project for the future and claiming the right to rule itself’. So awareness, territory, history and culture, language and religion all matter. However, it is rare in the real world to find a case of a nation with a clear-cut and homogenous character in terms of this list of possibilities. Each nation is unique in the (alleged) makeup of its special character and worth. One crucial question is whether – and to what extent – a group must be aware of its alleged distinctiveness from other groups, in order to be classed as a nation. One could argue that a nation can objectively be defined as a group of people which possesses a shared and distinct, historically persistent cultural identity, and which makes up a majority within a given territorial area. If that is the case, then one could argue that even if such a ‘nation’ is not pushing for a right to self-determination (in any form), it nevertheless is a nation.
There are other would-be objective approaches to what might signify nation-ness, including statehood, ethnicity and naturalness.
The concepts of nation and nationality are extremely difficult to define. ... In national communities where citizenship is seen as a major unifying force, the term nationality usually denotes citizenship; in nations whose unity rests largely on common culture and ancestry, nationality generally refers to ethnic origin.
