WHAT WAS THE NATION LATE FOR? OR: THE INTERVENTION OF A POLITICAL SCIENTIST

Abstract
Polemically oriented towards Plessner's Belated Nation and the introductory presentations in the debate about this book at the Faculty of Political Science, the author is of the opinion that the German case is the one of a belated attempt at empire-creation, and that all the nations in the world are "late" - except for the Dutch. By referring to the literature on politico-economic history and the model and comparative analysis of the nation-state as a complex politico- economic community within the world system of the West, the author thinks that Schieder's typology of the creation of European nations is not plausible, neither theoretically nor factually/historically.
