Abstract: The “national edifice” of the modern nationstate is built on the constructive civic nationalism with citizenship as the basis. However, in the current stage of globalization, the original ethnic nationalism has suddenly emerged, nationstates are trapped in identity difficulties, and citizenship is facing severe challenges. The reverting wave of nationalism is a product of cultural anxiety and identity politics brought about by globalization, showing a clear ethnic rather than civic orientation. The ethnic nationalism threatens the uniqueness, equality, and sanctity of citizenship, weakens citizen nationalism, and leads to a crisis of cultural fragmentation of citizenship. There are two main ways to coordinate citizenship and national identity. One is the idealistic “citizen state” construction plan, advocating the “partition theory”; the other is the realist nationstate strengthening plan, advocating the “maintenance theory”. Faced with the challenge of ethnic nationalism, reshaping citizenship and strengthening national identity are historical missions that nationstates must complete.
