Structures of Nationalism
- A study by Paul Treanor
- This is an un-revised text from 1997, in that year a revised version was published at Sociological Research Online, 2, 1 (1997). There is also an updated link site on nationalism, Nation Planet.
- As an academic paper, XCL highly recommends it for scholars who would like to tap into our new definition for "Nationalism" as a world order, in contrast with all the previously given definitions.
- The XCL Ideology Command embraces academia as a reference for the theoretical studies of Nationalism, and keeps the Ideology under a constantly updated workshop.
- The XCL Ideology Command therefore, and always, encourages all members and supporters to keep an open mind, and never fall into "appological traps" when some truths might be inconvenient.
