Mark scheme: disagreement
AO1 Whilst some nationalists (liberal, anti/post-colonial) believe in self-determination, expansionist nationalists don't believe all nations are entitled to self-determination
AO2 There are divisions over self-determination. Expansionist nationalists don't believe all nations are entitled to self-determination (Maurras)
[IJ] We can conclude that the divisions in nationalism are very deep
AO1 Nationalists are divided over whether they interpret the nation in an inclusive or exclusive way
AO2 Conservative nationalists see a shared culture as a defining feature of the nation (von Herder) whereas liberal nationalism interprets the nation in a more inclusive way
[IJ] We can conclude from the differences between nationalists around exclusivity or inclusivity, that nationalism is more divided than united
AO1 Nationalists are divided over their views on internationalism, and the ideal international order
AO2 Liberal nationalists believing in a peaceful order based on mutual respect and autonomy and chauvinist nationalists believing in a more competitive and aggressive struggle for dominance between nation-states
[IJ] We can form a judgement that these differences over the international order show that nationalism is more divided than united
