Patriotism and Character: Some Aristotelian Observations

This chapter defends an Aristotelian account of patriotism that differs from, and improves upon, the ‘extreme’ account of Aristotelian patriotism defended by Alasdair MacIntyre in a famous lecture. The virtue of patriotism is modeled on Aristotle’s account of the virtue of friendship; and the resulting account of patriotism falls between MacIntyre’s extreme patriotism and Marcia Baron’s moderate patriotism. The chapter illustrates how this plausible Aristotelian account of patriotism can avoid the dilemma that Baron has pressed against MacIntyre’s extreme account. It also illustrates why the virtue of patriotism cannot coexist with willful forms of ignorance. In its discussion of patriotism and ignorance the chapter draws on a recent study (2018) of the especially strong connection in the United States between patriotism and poverty

The Last Refuge of a Scoundrel? Patriotism and Tax Compliance

We study the effects of patriotism on tax compliance. In particular, we assume that individuals feel a (random draw of) warm glow from honestly paying their taxes. A higher expected warm glow reduces the government's optimal audit probability and yields higher tax compliance. Second, individuals with higher warm glow are less likely to evade taxes. This prediction is confirmed empirically by a multivariate analysis on the individual level while controlling for several other potentially confounding factors. The findings survive a variety of robustness checks, including an instrumental variables estimation to tackle the possible endogeneity of patriotism. On the aggregate level, we provide evidence for a negative correlation between average patriotic warm glow and the size of the shadow economy across several countries.patriotism, tax evasion, warm glow

Patriotism: last refuge of a scoundrel, or foundation of a healthy trading state?

Throughout the West, patriotism is on the rise, writes Victoria Bateman. During the EU referendum, the issue of sovereignty was high up the agenda. An outpouring of patriotism came along for the ride – a patriotism that Theresa May has since found herself defending on behalf of Brexiteers. But just how much of a threat is patriotism to the economy? Is it truly dangerous, or does it have a hidden economic value? She argues that it can indeed be useful, provided a country is sufficiently outward-looking and the rules of trade are observed

The Effect of Historical Narratives and Flag Type

This research will examine the effect of mainstream or marginalized historical narratives and the Confederate or American flag on temporal distancing, patriotism, perception of injustice, and assimilationist national identity. We expect that participants exposed to marginalized narratives will indicate higher perceived distance, especially when exposed to the Confederate flag. We expect that participants exposed to mainstream narratives will be highest on blind patriotism, especially when exposed to the American flag. We expect that participants in the American flag marginalized narrative condition would perceive the most racism and would reject more assimilationist conceptions of national identity. For the dependent measures of patriotism, perception of injustice, and national identity, we expect to find differences within the Confederate flag condition according to the meaning participants associate with the Confederate flag. These results will help us understand how people may respond to threatening narratives, how flag exposure may impact that response, and how historical narratives or flags can be presented to increase social justice awareness

Nationalisme et patriotisme de la Charte au Canada

Cet article cherche à défendre la thèse selon laquelle il ne conviendrait pas de percevoir le patriotisme constitutionnel — et sa variante canadienne, le patriotisme de la Charte — comme la négation et le substitut potentiel du nationalisme, puisqu’il s’arrime non pas aux fonctions de la nation, mais bien à celles de l’État. Patriotisme constitutionnel et nationalisme agiraient sur des plans différents, suivant une logique différente. Au mieux, le patriotisme de la Charte peut, selon cette perspective, se « superposer » au nationalisme, québécois par exemple, comblant ainsi des besoins distincts. Il s’agit donc de clarifier le rapport théorique entre nationalisme et patriotisme constitutionnel en s’appuyant sur l’exemple canadien.This article defends the theory by which it is inappropriate to view constitutional patriotism—and its Canadian variant, Charter patriotism—as a negation of, and potential substitute for nationalism, because constitutional patriotism does not concern the functions of the nation, but rather those of the State. Constitutional patriotism and nationalism act on different levels and follow a different logic. At best, Charter patriotism, according to this perspective, can "superimpose" itself to nationalism, for example Quebecois nationalism, thus fulfilling distinct needs. The purpose of this article is to clarify the theoretic link between nationalism and constitutional patriotism, using the Canadian example
