Many narratives of nationalist movements claim each nation-state as a unique formation, and yet the methods they use to inculcate the loyalty of their populations are everywhere so similar. This module works through this paradox from an international political perspective. It enables students to understand and explain the emergence of the nation-state form and its dramatic extension to the world (with the quasi-exception of Antarctica). Topics include comparative nationalist music; mimetic diasporic nationalisms; similarities and differences between African, Asian and Latin American decolonisations; and differing global responses to the French Revolution.
