What nations, states and nationalism are, the scholarly debate over whether nations are ancient or modern, the history of the nation-state from Westphalia to decolonization, the distinction between civic and ethnic nationalism, the strongest arguments for nationalism, its dangers, what psychology says about groups and identity, and the long debate between universal and particular loyalties.

The aim is understanding, not persuasion: you should finish able to explain why thoughtful people defend national loyalty, why others fear it, and how cosmopolitans, liberal nationalists and their critics answer one another. No background needed.
