After a period of what seemed to be unstoppable globalisation, most of the world has experienced a resurgent nationalism, marked by inward-looking policies and expectations of cultural autonomy. In Europe and North America, right-wing parties have gained power and become major influences on global relations, curtailing immigration and shifting the political structures toward authoritarianism and populism. At the same time, China has gradually but steadily expanded its influence over the world. With the growth of Chinese nationalism, identity conflicts emerge at the same time. Chinese identity not only generates tensions with other countries, even within the Chinese world. We can see identity conflicts in regard to indigenous identity of minority groups, people in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Furthermore, its political impacts on neighboring countries such as Japan, South Korea, and the United States; as well as its socioeconomic consequences deserve attention. This course combines an analysis of theoretical issues with the phenomenon of nationalism and the associated identity politics. It explores issues regarding the formation and growth of nationalism in the past few decades. In addition, it will cover some theoretical discussions and debates surrounding the concept of nationalism, the ethnoracialisation of Chineseness, the rise in right-wing nationalism in Europe and the United States, the growth of Hindu nationalism in India, relations between intellectuals and nationalism, the banal nationalist implications of popular culture, and ideological articulation of nationalism with populism, identitarianism, and liberalism. Moreover, it will track how recent historical factors have shaped nationalism, including Donald Trump’s trade policies, the COVID pandemic, cultural politics of authenticity and social media.
