Description
Summary:The article touches upon the question of the existing discourses of new nationalism, which has become a reaction to the crisis of European nation-state, as well as to the common crisis and transformation of the European Union. Some attention is also paid to the refugee crisis as a fac- tor of the growth of neo-nationalistic tendencies. The authors analyze three types of the new nation- alism discourses. The first type is small new nationalism, that represents regionalistic interpretation of this phenomenon as regional nationalism or national regionalism. The second type is the dis- course of big new nationalism as populist national etatism, which aims to defend sovereignty of classical nation-states of the Modernity. Neo-nationalists of this type are against both supranational integration of the EU as Eurosceptics and against regionalism. Finally, the third type of new nation- alism is only being formulated, that is Pan-European continentalism, represented by young neo- nationalist groups of new type, such as the Identitarian movement of Europe.
