Summary/Abstract: In this section, I examine the meaning and scope of nationalism and the idea of a nation as a modern social and political construct. I briefly elaborate on the principles and factors of nationalism and illustrate the modernist project of nationalism in constructing the concept of a nation and establishing a modern state through processes such as power, ideology, and hegemony in homogenizing the national culture. I then scrutinize the roles and positions of education as they pertain to nationalism within the process of establishing a modern nation-state.
