“…As argued, structural change is an important pre‐condition for the generation of nationalist sentiment, even if it can also generate a pro‐EU views. Ivan Kratsev and Stephen Holmes have described in detail the sort of psychological resentment towards the politics of post‐Cold War modernisation in Central and Eastern Europe (Kratsev & Holmes, 2019) that Tom Nairn highlighted above as one of the main historical drivers of a nationalist response to change. In Western Europe, this resentment is often explained in terms of a populist response to the technocracy of those in charge of the process of European integration at the European and national levels (Bickerton & Invernizzi Accetti, 2021).…”

The politics of the European Union's crises of the 2010s required the emergence of analyses and theorisation that sought to explain the possibility of European disintegration. This article makes a conceptual contribution to the emerging literature on European disintegration by arguing for the inclusion of nationalism as an important—yet under‐represented—variable in the politics and process of disintegration in the European Union. It draws together elements of enduring value in classical explanations of the rise and operation of nationalism in Europe from Ernest Gellner, Tom Nairn and John Breuilly, with a postfunctionalist emphasis on the politicisation of European Union politics at the member‐state level. The article concludes that a consideration of nationalism illuminates the process and politics of European disintegration by showing that the politics of European integration in the 2010s created nationalism rather than contained it, as it had been historically designed to do.

“…The unipolar moment has passed and multipolarity is on the rise. The era of imitating the West seems to be coming to an end (Holmes, Krastev 2019). "The world is changing dramatically and it's not waiting for us to change it" (Zupančič 2021).…”

This study substantiates the claim that nurturing state sovereignty, pursuing national interests and relying less on other states is the coveted compass that could guide humanity out of the ecological quagmire. My starting point is Hegel's notion of state sovereignty, which implies that relations between states are irradicably strained. This starting point causes me to see state sovereignty as part of the solution, rather than as an obstacle, to dealing with the environmental crisis. I build my argument on a parallel between the instability of the natural and international environment. Awareness of the unnecessary risks associated with over-dependence on other countries and on the natural environment is, in my view, leading to a renaissance of nuclear energy, which could enable us to ensure adequate energy self-sufficiency without serious damage to the environment.
