Abstract

The paper discusses pro-nationalist authors (D. Miller, A. Oldenquist, M.Canovan) who claim that states formed around a particular ethno-cultural nation have been historically sucessful, in terms of economic success, justice, democracy and solidarity. It is argued that their claims fail: in typical and wellknown cases there is an inverse correlation between the strenght of nationalism and the satisfaction of demands of justice, democracy and solidarity. Some hypotheses about the causes for this inverse relation are proposed.
