#41 Michael Goebel: Nationalism in Global History and Today

As one of the most consequential concepts in modern history, nationalism has reordered, and wrought havoc on, the world: In this episode of #AskDifferent, Michael Goebel, Einstein Professor of Global History at Freie Universität Berlin, explores the deep roots and global reach of nationalism. He explains why the rise of nationalism today isn’t a contradiction to globalization but rather an integral part of it. In conversation with moderator Doris Hellpoldt, Goebel delves into the "chicken and egg" conundrum, asking whether the nation creates the state or vice versa, and wonders whether there is a viable alternative to the traditional nation-state model in the modern world.___#AskDifferent, the Einstein Foundation’s podcast series, offers a unique behind-the-scenes opportunity to learn more about the pioneering minds affiliated with and funded by the Foundation, and to find out how their outstanding careers were shaped both by chance and circumstance. What is it that drives them to ask differently, to perpetually ask new questions, and explore the world in all its detail?Einstein Foundation Berlin Web: https://www.einsteinfoundation.de/en/
