Summary/Abstract: The exploring of nationalism in the era of globalism and transnational social relations may seem as the practice of dealing with what seem like the battered metaphors and dealing with “zombie sociology“. Contrary to various theoretical conceptions and interpretations that are constructed on the basis of taking into account one or several variables; from economic, gender, political, religious, communication, psychological, to socio-constructivist variables in the broadest sense, this text sets the thesis of the two-dimensional character of nationalism, namely, on nationalism as a specific type of social fact, and nationalism as a type of social action. Both types act supplementary, which may explain the recurrent and continuous effect of nationalism in the era of contemporary social world.
