Patriotism-as an ambivalent attitude towards the nation-has less exclusionary characteristics than nationalism and regional identification, because it does not require comparisons and hierarchies. What is less clear, however, is how to explain the positive evaluation of patriotism in the wider population. The article analyses the positive relationship of patriotism with nationalism and regional identification in 29 national and 421 regional contexts. The paper clearly shows that different factors explain the positive evaluation of patriotism and the mind-set of patriotism itself. While a nationalist attitude and regional identification at the individual level are strongly associated with a positive evaluation of patriotism and patriotism itself, institutionalised forms of regional autonomy are shown to be insignificant for the evaluation of patriotism and ambivalent for patriotism itself at the context level. The article concludes by discussing these results in the context of a Janus-faced nature of regional identification that can contribute to an inclusive society as much as to a nationalist-chauvinist attitude and which has so far been overlooked in regional science.

爱国主义作为一种对国家的矛盾态度,与民族主义和地域认同相比,具有较少的排他性特征,因为它不需要进行比较和等级划分。然而,不太清楚的是如何解释更广泛人群中对爱国主义的积极评价。本文分析了在29个国家和421个地区背景下爱国主义与民族主义和地域认同之间的正向关系。论文清楚地表明,不同因素解释了对爱国主义的积极评价以及爱国主义本身的思维模式。虽然个体层面的民族主义态度和地域认同与对爱国主义的积极评价以及爱国主义本身密切相关,但在背景层面,制度化的区域自治形式在对爱国主义的评价中显示出无关紧要,而对爱国主义本身则呈现出矛盾的态度。本文通过在地域认同的两面性背景下讨论这些结果来得出结论,地域认同既可以促进包容社会,也可能导致民族主义沙文主义态度,而这一点在区域科学中迄今一直被忽视。
