Provocation

The problem with rallying around the (Ukrainian) flag

Pages 252-256 | Received 17 Jan 2023, Accepted 02 Jun 2023, Published online: 12 Jun 2023
 

ABSTRACT

This Provocation examines the nationalist discourse that has surrounded international reactions to the Russian invasion and war on Ukraine in 2022. It critiques the use of any kind of nationalism as a way to express solidarity because rallying around any flag is also the act of rallying around the Westphalian state system.
