Nation Bias

The emotional and cognitive privileging of one's nation (the imagined cultural community) over other groups. It's a form of in-group favoritism that assumes the interests, values, and people of your nation are more important, correct, or worthy than those of others. This bias fuels nationalism, jingoism, and the belief that national loyalty trumps universal ethical principles or global solidarity.

*Example: A news outlet covers a natural disaster, spending 20 minutes on the plight of 10 national citizens affected abroad, and 2 minutes on a foreign disaster that killed 10,000. This Nation Bias frames suffering through the lens of national identity, implying the lives of co-nationals are inherently more newsworthy and grievable.*

Nation State Bias

The unconscious predisposition to view the nation-state—a relatively modern construct of a bordered territory with a centralized government—as the natural, inevitable, and primary unit of human political organization. This bias leads to assuming global problems must have national solutions, that national identity is paramount, and that political maps divided into colored countries represent a fundamental reality, rather than a contingent, often violently imposed, administrative layer.

Example: When a pandemic hits, the immediate global response is framed by Nation State Bias: "What is France's policy? What is Brazil's strategy?" This overlooks more relevant units like cities, regions, or global supply chains, and creates competition for vaccines instead of coordinated, transnational public health planning.

Psychology of Nation-States

The study of how large political communities develop collective psyches—shared identities, memories, traumas, and aspirations that shape how nations think, feel, and behave. Nation-states are not just administrative units; they're psychological entities, with personalities (aggressive, defensive, confident), moods (optimistic, anxious, nostalgic), and even neuroses (historical guilt, inferiority complexes, messianic delusions). The psychology of nation-states examines how national identity is formed (through shared stories, symbols, education), how national trauma is processed (or not), and how collective psychology drives foreign policy, domestic politics, and international relations. Understanding that nations have psychologies explains why they often act against their apparent interests—because they're driven by the same irrational forces as individuals, just on a larger scale.

Example: "He studied the psychology of nation-states to understand why his country kept making the same foreign policy mistakes. It wasn't bad leadership; it was national psychology—a deep-seated insecurity from a historical defeat that made them overcompensate aggressively. Until the psychology healed, the policy wouldn't change."

Sociology of Nation-States

The study of how nation-states are structured as social systems—how they organize populations, create hierarchies, distribute resources, and maintain order. Nation-states are the largest-scale social organizations humans have devised, and their sociology is correspondingly complex: classes, institutions, bureaucracies, legal systems, and the millions of interactions that hold them together. The sociology of nation-states examines how social order is maintained (through consent, coercion, and habit), how inequality is structured (by class, race, region), and how states change (through revolution, reform, or collapse). It also examines the relationship between states and the societies they govern—how states shape society and how society shapes states, in an ongoing dance of power and resistance.

Example: "She applied the sociology of nation-states to understand rising inequality in her country. It wasn't just bad policy; it was the structure of the state itself—who it represented, who it ignored, whose interests were built into its operations. Changing policy wouldn't change the structure; changing the structure required changing who had power."
