Lala Bagirova THE INFLUENCE OF MARXISM AND NEOMARXISM ON NATIONALISM
STUDIES The theories of the investigators of nationalism, influenced by marxist and neomarxist
ideas are regarded in the article. The influence of marxism on nationalism studies is analyzed.
The potential of Marxist ideas in nationalism studies is regarded. The possible critic is analyzed.
The Marxist critics suppose that economic factors play a great role in the process of
national creation. The character of work and capitalism make the culture homogeneous which
can be called the beginning of the nation. The unified educational system and homogeneous
culture are the result of the changes in the character of work.
The national movement and the class struggle have much on common. In the
contemporary world nationalism can be called nationalism of classes. European nationalism
against emigrants should be regarded as a phenomenon based on class factors and inspired by
the competition for jobs, conditions of living and goods.
Nation can be possible only in the society of a certain type. This should by an industrial
society with well-developed institutions of school and family. These institutions play a role of
transmission of the national ideology.
The paradox is that in the modern world of transnational economics and worldwide work
migration nation is still the only possible form of political organization. Transnational projects
like European Union may play the role of economic regulation but are helpless when it comes to
identity, language or law.
Nation does not lose its positions even in the world of global culture. The members of
nationalistic social groups might listen to hard rock, wear jeans and eat Chinese foods. This
proves that the nation successfully stands against the challenges of global culture and global
economics.
The potential of Marxist approaches to analyses of nationalism is great. They can easily
be combined with constructivist theories and give great scientific results. The possible critics can
be concentrated on the contemporary situation, because nation still plays a great role in the
transnational and transeconomic world.
