Abstract

In Lord Acton's thought, both nationalist ideas and the democratic method of government can run over people's freedom. Nationalism can be a collectivist idea that leads to the centralization of power, even in democratic regimes. It can also take on religious overtones. His essay Nacionalidad (1862) acquires relevance to interpret the populist and nationalist currents in contemporary Latin America.
