ΦΩΤΟ : ΘΑΝΑΣΗΣ(φυσικά)ΑΠΟΣΠΑΣΜΑ:
''Behind this paradox lies an unexamined history. It was Masaryk, a great
national leader, who once suggested the clearest and simplest definition
of nationalism. It signified, he thought (dissociating himself from it),
any outlook that treats the nation as the highest political value.2 This
need not mean that its adherents will in all circumstances, or every
context, think only or above all of the nation, to the exclusion of other
attachments or identities—in any given situation, the extent of its bearing
is always variable. So understood, the formula gives us a counterpart
definition of internationalism sufficiently minimal and neutral to allow
for what has been most lacking: some empirical reconstruction of its
record.

Historically, the term may be applied to any outlook, or practice,
that tends to transcend the nation towards a wider community, of which
nations continue to form the principal units.
