Disaggregating Nationalism: A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Economic and Cultural Nationalisms

To align this study with the scholarship on disaggregating the monolithic concept of nationalism in the Chinese context, the authors differentiate economic and cultural nationalisms, and conceptualise them as the manifestations of nationalistic sentiments in economic and cultural domains. Using data from the supplemental survey of the 2008 Chinese General Social Survey, findings have shown that economic and cultural nationalisms are weakly associated; age and education have greater effects on cultural nationalism than on economic nationalism; social status is negatively associated with economic nationalism but has no effect on cultural nationalism.
