The ancient form of nationalism. It dates back to the French Revolution. The ideas of liberal nationalism was offered by Joseph Madzini; it’s various aspects are also highlighted in the works of Jan-Jack Russo. Woodrow Wilson’s “14 Points” were based on the principles of Liberal Nationalism[1]. Liberal nationalism was strongly backed by political philosophers as they believed in existence of non-xenophobic nationalism, apart from freedom, tolerance, equality and individual rights. Ernest Renan and John Stuart Mill are considered to be liberal nationalists. The liberal nationalists defend the importance of national identity, proclaiming it to be necessary for individuals in order to be endowed with significant and representational autonomy. On the other hand it contributes to proper functioning of liberal democratic state[2].
