It is more sharply and narrowly formulated in Elie Kedourie, Nationalism, London, 1960, and the introduction to a collection of nationalist statements edited by him under the title Nationalism in Africa and Asia, London, 1971. Another exponent of the approach is J. L. Talmon: see his recent study The Myth of the Nation and the Vision of Revolution: The Origins of Ideological Polarisation in the Twentieth Century, London, 1981.
