Change "might/peace" to "nation/globe" #18

Closed TristanBomb closed 7 years ago

TristanBomb commented 7 years ago

The might/peace axis really measures nationalism versus cosmopolitanism, and the axis should be changed to reflect this.

I think the usage of the term nation is confusing in this context. "Nation" generally speaking applies across nation-state borders. For example, African nationalism and Pan-Africanism are ideologies held by people of the African diaspora and people actually in Africa.

Hm. Got a better term?

elifoster commented 7 years ago

nation-state maybe. I mean "nationalism" as a concept is pretty vague and has a lot of different meanings so you'll have to specify what kind of nationalism you're talking about.

Done on the beta branch.
