As one of the most consequential concepts in modern history, nationalism has reordered, and wrought havoc on, the world: In this episode of #AskDifferent, Michael Goebel, Einstein Professor of Global History at Freie Universität Berlin, explores the deep roots and global reach of nationalism. He explains why the rise of nationalism today isn’t a contradiction to globalization but rather an integral part of it. In conversation with moderator Doris Hellpoldt, Goebel delves into the "chicken and egg" conundrum, asking whether the nation creates the state or vice versa, and wonders whether there is a viable alternative to the traditional nation-state model in the modern world.
