Abstract

This chapter pulls together the arguments and offers a general reflection on the relationship between nationalism, liberalism and language. It emphasises the relevance of nationalism in contemporary social and political life, provides ten summary theses/take-away points of the book, and discusses the reasons why political actors use some arguments and not others, placing an emphasis on context.
