    • 2005, Paul Dresch, Monarchies and Nations‎[1], →ISBN, page 119:
      In this sense, ethnocracy as a socio-political regime is outcome of ethnonationalism, that brand of nationalism that views the nation as a "natural" and ethnically "pure" community, as opposed to its liberal conceptualisation as a community based on equal rights and duties.
