El debate académico sobre nación y nacionalismo desde los orígenes hasta la consolidación del predominio anglosajón

Abstract

This article offers an introductory review of the main contributions to the academic debate about nations and nationalism, from the first intellectuals who addressed the topic with minimally analytical aspirations, down to the late 20th century, when studies of nations and nationalism became established as a specific field under the hegemony of works written in English. It considers both the first indirect contributions by influential thinkers and the later specific output of historians and social scientists on the topic and permits a reconstruction of the long and diverse trajectory that these studies have gone through until reaching an outstanding position in the early 21st century.
