Ethnonationalism:
Ethnonationalism is a political and social ideology that emphasizes the link between a specific ethnic group and a distinct nation-state. It revolves around the idea that a nation should correspond to a particular ethnic or cultural group, asserting that shared ancestry, language, religion, or cultural traditions form the basis for national identity. Unlike civic nationalism, which focuses on shared values and citizenship, ethnonationalism places a strong emphasis on common ethnicity.
This ideology often leads to the exclusion or marginalization of individuals who do not align with the dominant ethnic group, fostering a sense of "us versus them." Ethnonationalist movements can be seen in demands for autonomy, independence, or the establishment of a sovereign state based on ethnic identity. While ethnonationalism has been a driving force behind the creation of some nation-states, it can also contribute to conflicts, discrimination, and challenges to multiculturalism, as it prioritizes the interests of a specific ethnic group over others within a given geographic region.
