本文探讨了共同的民族价值观是否构成国家认同构建和发展的重要组成部分。这样做对基姆利卡和诺曼的假设提出了挑战，他们认为共同的价值观与国家认同几乎没有关系。借鉴加拿大、魁北克、苏格兰和英国相互竞争的民族主义话语，我们认为共同价值观的理念是在多民族国家内塑造和加强民族认同的有用工具。这些价值观有助于定义国家认同的集体概念，描述我们作为一个民族的身份，以及是什么将我们联系在一起，同时又将我们与其他人区分开来。
This article examines whether shared national values form a vital component in the construction and development of national identity. In so doing, it challenges Kymlicka and Norman in their assumption that shared values have little relevance for national identity. Drawing upon competing nationalist discourses in Canada, Quebec, Scotland and the United Kingdom, we argue that the idea of shared values serves as a useful tool in shaping and reinforcing national identities within multinational states. Such values contribute to defining the collective conception of national identity, describing who we are as a people, and what it is that binds us together while distinguishing us from others.
