Taken from the preface: "....The present book...reports the ways in which the problems of nationalism seem to me to be developing now and the ways in which we may have to deal with them in the future. Although I have omitted many technicalities, I have tried to keep in view the heart of each of the major problems, which together make up the great questions of nationalism and internationalism and of war and peace, with which we must deal not only as scholars and students but also as citizens of our countries and of mankind. These questions will require decisions from all of us--decisions of policy, as well as decisions of basic attitudes, of the distribution of risks, and of the balance between present commitments and future inquiries. The case for such decisions can be introduced in common, nontechnical language, and this is the task of this book. If it provokes some readers to further thought and study, and perhaps to some responsible civic action, it will have served its task."

There are outstanding studies of nationalism as a history of nationalistic ideas, as in the writings of Hans Kohn; there are competent descriptions of nationalism as a force in politics, as by the Study Group of the Royal Institute of International Affairs headed by Edward Hallett Carr; and there are important works organizing the many facts about nationalism in terms of some particular problem, such as Quincy Wright?s monumental Study of War. But there has seemed to be no answer to the question why nationalist ideas met with wide and strong response at certain times and places, and with almost no response at others.In certain areas, economic growth has led to national unification; in others to greater national diversity. Why did national sentiments develop in one direction but not in the other? In certain cases, individuals can and do change from membership in one people to membership in another; in other situations they seem almost powerless to do so, and nationality appears as if it were some objective fact beyond the decisions of individuals.What, then, is ethnic nationality? Under which conditions will a government or a political organization find it an asset? Under which a liability? What is the relation of this nationalisty to economic life, to incomes, opportunities, and expectations? And how may it become so important to individuals as to override their economic interest and even their interest in self-preservation?To make a beginning at answering these questions we need studies about objective as well as the subjective sides of nationalisty, and about the long-run trends of national assimilation or differentiation.The present study represents an attempt toward such a theory.

The NErves of Government applies concepts of the theory of information, communication, and control of problems of political and social science. Key notions are Norbert Wiener's use of the concepts of feedback, channel capacity and memory. From these concepts of consciousness, will, and social learning are developed by the present author. These ideas have found further application in the development of the computer-based political world models.
