In this Ernest Gellner Nationalism Lecture delivered at the London School of Economics & Political Science (England), 22 Mar 2001, a call is made for increased intellectual exchange between academics from France & GB on the notions of citizenship & national identity. Terminological & conceptual differences between the ideas of liberal & republican citizenship are examined, along with those between liberalism & citizenship in modern democracies; the examples of GB, France, & the US are compared. Historical linkages between the nation & liberalism -- liberal democracy -- are traced. Contemporary challenges to the linkage of national & civic principles are reviewed, & the possibility of creating a democratic society based not on the nation-state, but on a new political space, is explored. 11 References.
