Some nationalisms triumphed, not others, and not all could. They were placed within boundaries. Boundaries were easy to change in the imperial period, much more difficult, almost impossible, to change in a world of nation-states. Once 34 Definitions and chronologies nation-states have filled the world, they cannot readily allow the process to continue. ’26 Instead of being an ordering process, nationalism would become, once more, a disordering one. That had been apparent in Europe in the 1920s. The Aland islanders, mostly Swedish in language and culture, wished to be part of Sweden, rather than continue to be part of the now-independent Finland.
Hall, who suggests that there have been three great ages of nationalism, marked off by the Latin American revolution, by Versailles, by decolonisation, and now, perhaps, a fourth, with the breakup of the Soviet Union,38 a concept that might be endorsed without accepting, perhaps, the exclusion of German and Italian ‘unification’. But it may, and perhaps should, also be combined with a schema that would describe the stages through which a nationalist movement might pass or in which nationalism might be variously deployed.
112 What indeed is ‘rational’, the present author would add, is surely a relative matter. Some people seed clouds, others pray for rain, yet others do both. Unable themselves to take part in the ‘politics’ of the 24 Definitions and chronologies great tradition, peasants resort to small deeds, but also assume millennialist stances. And even if we have a shared notion of what is ‘rational’, we may be presented with or perceive a range of arguments within that rationality. The ‘situationalist’ argument remains valuable even without the element of ‘rational’ choice.
