Using Ireland as an example, this text assesses competing modes of nation-building and nationalism in the social sciences through a critical reappraisal of the works of Benedict Anderson, Eric Hobsbawn and . Smith. Focusing on the contested terrains of nationalist ideology, it explores the historical connections between Ireland and Great Britain and the clash between big nation British nationalism and minority Irish nationalism. Mac Laughlin (political geography, U. College) argues that the nation-state was constructed by the bourgeoisie as a cradle for their morality and power, and that it alienated whole sectors of society including racial and ethnic minorities and nomadic communities; th shows how by challenging the hegemony of dominant states these small nations can threaten the territorial integrity of historic nations.
