Nationalism has been treated as an ideology responsible for social conflicts, war and genocides. It has become a habit link it to a collective identity that turns into action through the behaviour of those people who have interiorised it. Therefore, there would be nationalists and non-nationalists. However, in this paper the following ideas are proposed: Firstly, we cannot escape nationalism because it has become the ideology that promotes the main principle over which contemporary states take shape: namely national sovereignty. Secondly, nationalism is frequently not responsible for all the troubles for which it is accused, but it has been used to give ideological backup to political problems with different origins. Thirdly, if we are not satisfied with the principle of nationality, we should be able to come up with widely accepted and viable alternatives.
