In this lecture, Duncan Bell explores a range of ideas about patriotism and citizenship that circulated in British and American political debates during the opening years of the twentieth century. In particular, Duncan focuses on ideas about 'isopolitan citizenship' and 'race patriotism'. Moreover, he argues that the much of this racial-imperial discourse was distinctly utopian in form, suggesting that if the Anglo-Saxon 'race' could unite politically it would dominate the twentieth century, bringing peace and to the earth.

‘Isn’t it obvious why war occurs?’, many people would say. ‘It is in the nature of ‘sovereign’ states that they would, from time to time, resort to force to address their problems.’ That is indeed so. But this does not explain why a particular war occurs at a particular time or why, among some sovereign states, war has come to be effectively ruled out.

Why should I be just? At times, the strictures of justice seem to require that I act contrary to my own (perceived) self-interest; if so, and if I have reason to do only what is good for me, then I have no reason to be just—certainly at least not for the sake of justice.
