The Subversive Effects Of Nationalism On The American Civilizational Structure Throughout The History Of The United States Of America

Authors : Aissani Zoubir .

Abstract

Nationalism is one of the most influential political ideologies in human history. In fact, the sentiment has drastically reshaped the international political map in the two centuries since its first formulation in the writings of European philosophers in the 18th century; notably, in regions accommodating ethnic or cultural minorities that were imperfectly integrated into the national society. Thus, problems and frequent failures of national integration are issues of central importance in the contemporary world; namely, the United States of America. The present paper examines the question whether nationalism is detrimental to the civilizational structure in USA, if yes, then to what extent? We will attempt to answer this question by conducting an objective investigation of different historical events and evaluation of their respective repercussions on the American community and politics.
