Now Available from the Stanley Foundation: America's Uncomfortable Relationship with Nationalism Posted by request: The United States has a big problem with nationalism: it's uncomfortable with everybody else's. Yet the great irony here is that the United States seems quite unaware of the fact that it is one of the most enthusiastically nationalistic countries of the world. More remarkably, the United States regularly miscalculates the force of nationalism abroad. Today nationalism is probably the single most widespread ideology in politics across the globe. In a new Stanley Foundation Policy Analysis Brief (http://www.stanleyfoundation.org/reports/pab06nss.pdf?d=061206&t=text), Graham E. Fuller, who served as an overseas operations officer with the CIA for 20 years, examines the roots of American views of nationalism and the problems those views create. About The Stanley Foundation: The Stanley Foundation brings fresh voices, original ideas, and lasting solutions to debates on global and regional problems. It is a nonpartisan, private operating foundation, located in Muscatine, Iowa, that focuses on peace and security issues and advocates principled multilateralism.
