“…Sub‐state nationalism, as embodied by sub‐state nationalist parties, can be read as a reaction to the state: both as an ideal, with self‐government goals measured against the yardstick of independent statehood, and as a reality, by actually responding to the state. The intrinsic link between the state and sub‐state nationalism has been extensively documented in the field’s foundational texts, including John Breuilly’s Nationalism in the State (1993). It is also found in the terminology we use to describe parties which seek to reform their relationship with the state and their goals, including ‘stateless nations’ (Friend, 2012; Keating, 2001) and ‘nations without states’ (Guibernau, 2013).…”

In 2014, voters in Scotland and Flanders were faced with a choice which would shape the constitutional future of their respective nations as well as that of the British and Belgian states. The Scottish National Party and the Nieuw-Vlaamse Alliantie sought different types of self-government, but their proposals were made in response to the embedding state. This article analyses the messaging of each party, determining that both discursively use the stateas concept and as institution in similar ways. Both acknowledge the interdependence inherent to governance in the twenty-first century, but argue that self-government remains necessary. They also use the perceived failings of the state to make their case for self-government. However, there are important, albeit subtle, areas of variation, reflecting both the nature of each party's self-government goals and their strategies in pursuit of them.

The appearance of nationalism in Japan can ascend to the Taisho period, after the sharp rise in the past decade of years, it finally shows a dramatically downcast in modern times. Nationalism has caused a great change in both Japan's economic and political aspects, as time passes by, nationalism has developed because of the assault which came from the thought trend of the western country. It has both the specific characteristic which cannot be replaced by western countries and a negative colour that has strongly affected the Japanese citizens.

“…Nationalism provides the most important justification for seeking or maintaining self‐determination. It identifies the group that seeks independence, providing an internally consistent argument based on history, territory, language and culture (Breuilly, 1993; Gellner, 1983). Nationalism also provides the justification for opposing secession and political independence by defending the existing state.…”

Putin, national self‐determination and political independence in the twenty‐first century

This contribution focuses on the right of nations to selfdetermination after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It suggests that sovereignty and territorial integrity are not as secure as once thought. A number of articles and statements issued by Vladimir Putin are analysed to identify nationalist themes which he uses to reject Ukraine's right to exist outside the Russian state. Key themes include a primordial account of national origins, the conflation of state and nation, and a refusal to recognise a right to self-determination of territories that had once been part of Russia. Putin's nationalism draws on imperial nationalism, state nationalism, revanchism and majoritarianism to underwrite his claims. Such views are widespread among established states, contributing to the instability of the contemporary world. It is argued that a reconfiguration of the relationship between state and nation is long overdue, as is the inflexible nature of territorial integrity.
