Abstract

The paper supports the view that nationalism at the level of Romanian population in the years 2000 is an identity phenomenon of multiple facets and determinations. There is not only an aggressive nationalism but also a nationalism of ethnic, tolerant orientation. The aggressive forms of nationalism are supported not by poverty but by low level of education and a high sensitivity to social anomia phenomena. Voting orientations of the population seem to be more under the influence of anomia perception than nationalist ideologies. The electoral potential of anomia feelings is much higher than the potential impact of nationalism.
