Lack of nationalism, or a desire for new nations, was a cause for the split of countries such as [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Austria-Hungary]]. It can be considered positive, as a form of [[patriotism]], but it can also go to extremes, leading to hatred of non-members of the [[nation]] (which is often ethnically defined) and violence. Examples of this negative nationalism are the [[Nazi Party]] in [[Germany]], the ethnic conflict in the former Yugoslavia, and the current isolationist policies of [[North Korea]].

The former also led to nationalism being demonized to the extent that even having any pride for a country is considered evil. This interpretation was generally pushed by [[Globalist]]s and post-modernists.

[[Jean Jacques Rousseau]] and [[Johann Gottfried Herder]] were two of the main nationalist theorists.
