What is Nationalism

Regulating Human Rights, Social Security, and Socio-Economic Structures in a Global Perspective
A political principle that affirms the unity of the political and the national. It is a political ideal according to which statehood is the optimal form of political organization of each nation. Nationalism must be distinguished from the demand for political or cultural autonomy. Nationalist programs call for national homogeneity through assimilation (often violent), and in some cases for the deportation, murder, or irredentism of people of other nationalities. In many countries, in conditions of ethnic heterogeneity, nationalist policies harm minorities.

Sopo Chkopoia (East European University, Georgia)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-6684-4620-1.ch011
Abstract
The chapter addresses the challenges facing democracies in the context of modern globalization and the opportunities for social policy development. Globalization, as an important event, has had an impact on public administration systems and the domestic and foreign policies of nation states. It is clearly seen that the role of NGOs and transnational corporations has increased. The ways as well as the methods of using legitimate power by the states have changed. It is noteworthy that social policy as a definition of views has changed over time, although there is still no universal definition of it, yet each individual connects it to his or her own state policy. The modern understanding of social policy is directly related to activities related to the welfare of society. Social policy is implemented by state and other institutions. The effectiveness of social policy is determined by analyzing the results of the implemented policy.
