What exactly is oppositional nationalism?

Expert Solution
Explanation

Oppositional nationalism has always played an important role in the history of politics. In the book, The Psychology of Nuclear Proliferation by Jacques E. C. Hymans, he writes that oppositional nationalism refers to the deeply rooted fear of a foreign enemy coupled with the passionate national pride in one's national potential to face this foreign enemy head-on and taking them down. Those who follow oppositional nationalism are referred to as oppositional nationalists. As an example, during the times of nuclear proliferation, it can be said that oppositional nationalists are those leaders who seek to obtain nuclear weapons.
