“Jerry Z. Muller a professor at Catholic University, (’Us and Them,’ Foreign Affairs, March/April 2008, and ‘Replies,’ July/August 2008) argued that the power of ethnic nationalism ‘will drive global politics for generations to come’ because it ‘corresponds to some enduring propensities of the human spirit,’ which often manifests in the ‘need for each people to have its own state.’ His essay provided a valuable corrective to the position that ethnic identity is a mere social construction that globalization will steadily eradicate.”
