Nationalist and Pan-Nationalist Doctrines

Nationalism as a general doctrine and the pan-nationalist doctrines that seek to unite peoples across state borders. An entry belongs here when its cited source describes political thought that takes the nation, or a shared language, culture or ancestry spanning several states, as the basis of political loyalty and legitimacy. Nationalism is the broad doctrine, and Pan-Arabism is the doctrine of unity among Arab peoples and states. The group lets a reader compare the single-nation form of the idea with its transnational forms.
