ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts of key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book examines the emergence of the national political community and it argues that the propensity for individuals to be interpellated as national subjects is a product of their everyday practices. It provides that identity is the theoretical model for how national identification can be explained as a product of everyday life and an initial step toward an empirical case study that has provided us with a few categories that will help refine future empirical studies. The question of the historical constitution of the state and the causal mechanisms of its continued reproduction can be divided into the two interdependent factors that make the idea of the state and its political realities compelling and legitimate, the cohesion of the national community and the split of society into the public and private. The book focuses on these two problems.
