To what extent does nationalism support internationalism?
Non-Core Ideologies: Nationalism
Mark scheme: agreement
AO1 Liberal and anti/postcolonial nationalism believe in internationalism; a world of morally equal nation-states based on the principle of self-determination that underpins their liberal internationalist view
AO2 Most liberal, anti-colonial nationalists (Garvey) believe in a world of independent nation-states (Mazzini), where a nation has the right to govern itself free from domination or oppression, reflecting a consistent support for the nation state and internationalism
[IJ] We can conclude that liberal and anti/post-colonial nationalism support internationalism
AO1 Both liberal and anti/post-colonial nationalism support internationalism – the idea that nation-states should respect the sovereignty of other states
AO2 Liberal and anti/post colonialism take a rational view that nations have the right to govern themselves (Rousseau); they have a consistent view that self-determination is progressive as it will help the nation achieve political, social and economic progress, and also that states should respect the sovereignty of other states, creating a world of order, so there is a consistent view among liberal and anti/post colonialist nationalists that nation states should respect the sovereignty of other states to create a liberal internationalist order
[IJ] We can conclude that liberal and anti/post-colonial nationalism support internationalism
AO1 Some nationalists emphasise internationalism as working across boundaries to create world order of balance and harmony and achieve common goals
AO2 Some nationalists stress that international organisations and interdependence make war less likely and that disputes can be resolved peacefully, whilst post-colonial nationalism stresses working across nations to achieve freedom from colonial rule (Garvey), so there is a view that supports the building of international organisations and interdependence to create a peaceful international community and stresses working across boundaries to achieve common goals
[IJ] We can conclude that some nationalism supports internationalism
Mark scheme: disagreement
AO1 Expansionist nationalism disagrees with the concept of liberal internationalism and the independence of all nations
AO2 Expansionist nationalism, because of its chauvinist views (Maurras), is the only form of nationalism that rejects the right of all nations to self-determination and is seen as supportive of imperialism/colonialism, rejected by both liberal and post-colonial nationalism, reflecting the fact that there is no common agreement for the idea of internationalism within nationalism
[IJ] We can conclude that expansionist nationalism does not support internationalism
AO1 Conservative nationalism is more sceptical of internationalism – working across boundaries
AO2 In particular, conservative nationalism is suspicious of international organisations which might undermine the nation, including its national laws and institutions, and conservative nationalism is more concerned with the cohesion of its own nation-state (von Herder), showing that there is not consistent support for internationalism
[IJ] We can conclude that conservative nationalism is sceptical of internationalism
AO1 Most forms of nationalism distance themselves from the ideas of socialist internationalism
AO2 Most forms of nationalism reject the idea of socialist internationalism based on class rather the nation, showing there is no consistency of approach within nationalism over internationalism
[IJ] We can conclude that nationalism does not support socialist internationalism
