dc.description.abstract | The literature on nation-building and nationalism suggests that nation-building affects
economic and political performance, mitigates the problems associated with ethnic hetero-
geneity, but that nationalism, an indicator of successful nation-building, is linked to dismal
performance via protectionism and intolerance. This paper shows that there is a nonlinear
association between nationalism and government effectiveness, that nationalism leaves no
imprint on the effects of ethnic heterogeneity but may be a positive force in former colonies,
and that actual trade ows are independent of the level of nationalism in the population. | en |
