[IJ] We can conclude that liberal and anti-colonial nationalism is inclusive
AO1 Liberal and socialist internationalism both adopt an inclusive approach
AO2 Liberal and social internationalism both adopt an inclusive approach with liberal internationalism seeing a world of nation-states built on civic nationalism and socialist internationalism see a world of solidarity across states and nations built on class, showing a clear agreement that nationalism is inclusive
[IJ] We can conclude that some forms of nationalism are inclusive
AO1 Liberal and anti-colonial nationalism is inclusive as they do not accept that race or culture defines the nation or the state
AO2 Liberal nationalism and anti-colonial nationalism are inclusive, as acceptance into the state is not limited by identity related restrictions such as culture or race, showing clear agreement between some strands of nationalism about whether the nation-state is inclusive
[IJ] We can conclude that liberal and anti-colonial nationalism is inclusive
Mark scheme: disagreement
AO1 There are divisions between the exclusive approach of conservative and expansionist nationalism with liberal and anti-colonial nationalism
AO2 In contrast to the liberal and anti-colonial approach, conservative nationalism seeks to defend, for example, a language, religion, set of traditions or a national 'way of life' (von Herder) whilst expansionist nationalism sees their nation as unique, special and based on common ancestry (Maurras) which are exclusive rather than inclusive, showing clear disagreements within nationalism, showing clear disagreements over inclusivity within nationalism
[IJ] We can conclude that there are disagreements on inclusivity
AO1 Both conservative nationalism and expansionist nationalists restrict who can become part of the nation
AO2 For conservative nationalism, it takes time to become part of the nation due to the need to learn/adopt the culture whilst integral nationalism is exclusive to common ancestry and hostile to others (Maurras), and racialism is the most exclusive as it defines the nation purely in terms of race unlike the civic nationalism of liberal nationalists, showing a clear disagreement within nationalism over what constitutes the nation
[IJ] We can conclude that conservative and expansionist nationalism is not inclusive
AO1 Expansionist nationalism and conservative nationalism are opposed to any form of nationalism which allows for the respect for ethnic and cultural diversity within the nation
AO2 Both expansionist and conservative nationalism is based around an emotional, mystical and regressive view of the nation and opposes civic nationalism. Expansionist nationalism is more exclusive as it claims superiority over other groups and nations (Maurras), showing clear disagreement within nationalism over the nation and the relationship between nations
[IJ] We can conclude that expansionist nationalism is not inclusive
