  Urban Dictionary: nationalism
Civic nationalists are indiscriminate towards members of their nation with regard to their ethnicity, and thus prefer to define a nation more by its geographical borders and their struggle therefore is rather more focused on the preservation of culture as opposed to race or ethnicity.
Ethnic nationalists are often rather more authoritarian however and tend to define their identity not along cultural lines but along ethnic or racial lines.
Nationalists are not only concerned with the welfare of their own nations, although they do not wish to interfere at all in that of others, because they often believe that every nation has a right to self-determination.

 Abstracts - Jaydeva Uyangoda

In such an extreme stage of ethnic relations, even when bilateral approaches are possible and therefore initiated, there is ever- present possibility of mono-ethnic nationalist movements, through their powerful military wings, succeeding in thwarting attempts at conflict resolution through compromise.
The point is that in militarized ethnic conflicts, the possibilities for continuing re-production of the conflict are greater than the opportunities for its resolution.
