Comparing The Nations And Nationalism, The Soviet Union, And The National Republics

285 Words2 Pages

My project, “Nations and Nationalism, the Soviet Union, and the National Republics” will detail how nationalism operated in the Soviet Union as both a device of state dominance and as a socializing discourse of Soviet identity. During the 1920s and 1930s the Bolshevik Party, under Lenin and then Stalin, laid the foundation for the structure of the Soviet Union. Contending with the many minorities located on the peripheral borders near Eastern Europe, Siberia, and Central Asia, Moscow placed them under Soviet rule. By using the dialogue of the Soviet “Great Friendship” of nations, or the narrative of a uniting bond among all nations linking Soviet citizens with all peoples from across the world as benevolent agents of the USSR’s civilizing

  • The Pros And Cons Of Having A Large Republic

    1042 Words  | 5 Pages

    Without a large republic not only are you going to have the tyranny of the majority, but you are not going to have a unified country. If we become factionalized to the point where every person represents their own views we are going to be headed towards civil war quickly, and we are going to break up as a nation. By having a large republic and by having all of these voices silenced in their factions we can stay coherent. Madison comes to the conclusion we are not going to have a large enough faction to tear the nation apart, but he is wrong because different opinions will always exist as long as people are free and self-love exist. These factions are inevitably going to tear the nation apart.

  • Essay On Ultranationalism

    748 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nationalism is the pride for one’s country, the love that one has for its country and it is the want for the good of all people in the nation. This love is not conditional, it does not depend on race religion or economic standing. When a leader is chosen, when a country is coming out of great national change, this requires a particularly strong leader who only wishes for their countries greatness and success in the future. However, this can quickly turn into ultranationalism, or expose ultranationalistic motives. The two concepts of one’s love for their country have similarities, one is formed from the other, or that each can be provokers of change in either direction in the political spectrum.

  • Compare And Contrast A Large Republic Vs Small Republic

    Throughout our country’s history, there have been many debates about how our government should be run and set up. One of the biggest debates was whether or not a large republic was better or worse than a small republic and vice-versa. This argument occurred when the new constitution came into play and the debate circulated around the federalists and the antifederalists. The antifederalists wanted a republic where the citizens or the people being ruled were able to check and view closely the small republic with its small amount of enumerated powers. They saw this as the best way to keep liberty.

  • How Did Nationalism Change The Revolutions Of 1848?

    968 Words  | 4 Pages

    As a product of the Revolutions of 1848, European sentiment towards Nationalism grew extensively among the middle and lower classes. European ethnic groups and nations desired a self-determined state that represented their group and culture. As a result, both Germany and Italy would experience unification movements within several decades. By 1871, the Italian states would be unified under the Italian tricolour flag; and in the same year, the German states would become integrated into Germany under Wilhelm I of Prussia. Nationalism is both a political and social system in which the nation-state is of utmost importance -- in which nation-states act in their own self-interest and are of full sovereignty.

As a constitutional republic, the U.S. government is organized by the Constitution, setting forth the political threshold of the people, which are known as the federal and state governments. As a federal republic, the control stands by the people throughout the voting process of electing the federal and state officials. The federal government is limited by the distribution of authority within the states as outlined in the Constitution. Although many people like to call the United States a democracy, this is not the case, because the public does not directly control legislation.

  • Ernest Gellner's Theory Of Nationalism

    2145 Words  | 9 Pages

    Moving on to the idea of nationalism, Ernest Gellner (1997) understood nationalism as a product of industrial society. He defines nationalism as “primarily a political principle, which holds that the political and national unit should be congruent” (Guibernau and Rex 1997: 52). Nationalism, Gellner says is either a product of feeling of anger when the principle discussed above is not fulfilled or a product of feeling of satisfaction aroused by its fulfilment. Therefore, “nationalism is a theory of political legitimacy” (Guibernau and Rex 1997: 52). Gellner justifies the repercussions of the idea of “nationalism is a theory of political legitimacy” by discussing how the political effectiveness of national sentiment impairs the sensibility of the nationalists to realise the wrong committed by the nation.
