Moderate nationalism is a political moderate form of nationalism that rejects state-authoritarianism and racism.
Subtypes Subtypes include civic nationalism (liberal nationalism). Moderate nationalism is similar to patriotism, except that moderate nationalism is focused on cultural and ethnic issues, while patriotism puts more value on forming a civic community and loyalty to the state.Miscevic, Nenad. Nationalism. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Fall 2020 Edition), Edward N. Zalta (ed.). However, not all civic nationalism is moderate: state nationalism is classified as a broad form of civic nationalism by prioritizing state identity over ethnic identity, but it can also be authoritarian; as Umut Özkırımlı states, "civic" nations can be as intolerant and cruel as the so-called "ethnic" nations, citing French Jacobin techniques of persecution that were utilized by 20th-century fascists.
Some moderate nationalism based on a ethnic identity is also called "moderate ethnic nationalism" or "liberal ethnic nationalism", with figures such as Russia's Alexei Navalny or Vladimir Milov, and Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party as examples. South Korea’s centre-left moderate nationalists embrace Korean ethnic nationalism (minjok), which is related to policy of reconciliation with North Korea and the expansion of democracy.Cloudy forecast for Moon’s ‘Sunshine Policy 2.0’ East Asia Forum (2017. 07. 20).
