Ethno-nationalism

Ethno-nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of a shared ethnicity, culture, or ancestry as the foundation for a nation’s identity and sovereignty. It promotes the idea that a nation should primarily consist of people who share common ethnic traits, often leading to the exclusion or marginalization of those who do not. This perspective can influence policies around citizenship, cultural expression, and migration, sometimes fostering unity within a group but also provoking tensions or conflicts with others based on ethnic differences.
