In: Cambridge Review of International Affairs Vol.30, No.4, August 2017, pp. 368-393 (93) Summary: How did the rise of nationalism affect patterns of interstate wars? The conventional wisdom in mainstream security studies tends to treat the rise of nationalism as a 'force amplifier' that allowed states to wage war on an unprecedented scale, leading to deadlier-and, consequently, less frequent-wars. By building on emerging interdisciplinary research on territory and territoriality, this essay suggests that there was a second mechanism-complementary to the 'force amplifier' logic-through which the rise of nationalism affected the patterns of interstate war: nationalism changed the 'character' of territories in the modern state system, which, in turn, transformed state preferences over their territorial belongings.
