  • Few issues shape the current political debate as much as nationalism. Among man-made disasters, climate change and nationalism vie for first place in deadliness. In his new book, Prof. Dr. Rolf-Ulrich Kunze examines the functioning of nationalism, explains its historical conceptual and functional history, various types of nationalism theories, and the connection between nationalism and religion. Nationalism is not only the patriotism of the wrong people. It would only be overcome if everyone answered the question of whether they love their fatherland as Federal President Gustav Heinemann once did: "I love my wife."
