Aliev, Djasaret Khidayat – ogly Ethnos and nation – correlation of categories.

Abstract: In the past the correlation between the “ethnos” and the “nation” was viewed variously. They were either viewed as categories of the same order, or the ethnos was viewed as a part of nation, or nation was seen as a higher stage of development of the ethnos. Nevertheless, it is important to establish the difference between them and their relations. Keywords: political science, ethnos, nation, nationality, culture, language, traditions, values, state
