Nationalist politics

Nationalist politics refers to the political ideology that emphasizes the interests and culture of a particular nation or group of people, often prioritizing national sovereignty and identity. Nationalists advocate for the rights and self-determination of their nation, sometimes seeking to establish or maintain independence from external influences or control. This can manifest in promoting national unity, heritage, and values, as well as sometimes leading to exclusionary practices against perceived outsiders. Nationalist movements can arise in response to political, economic, or social grievances, and can range from peaceful advocacy to more aggressive forms of action.
