Nationalism As A Vehicle For Modern Organizational Revolution

Abstract

The consolidation of the Absolutist State is analyzed up to the emergence of Enlightenment thought and major revolutionary milestones. Nationalism sparks an intellectual debate between those who consider it an ideology and those who see it as merely a historical moment, with Kant in the midst of the debate. The Modern State is solidified thanks to the nationalist influence of motivations for competitive reordering, which ensures sovereignty and provides a legal-scientific framework for its reproduction. The Modern State fosters four types of societies: statist, liberal, corporatist, and segmented.
