Los problemas de identidad nacional han sido constantes en la historia de Estados Unidos, incluso hasta hoy, siendo la Guerra Civil el ejemplo más notable de desacuerdo grave sobre la identidad y la unidad nacionales. Hay muchas interpretaciones sobre cómo se conformó como país, cuáles son sus características definitorias y cuán fácticas o meramente autocomplacientes fueron realmente o son ahora las afirmaciones de "excepcionalidad". Este trabajo pretende ser una descripción general introductoria de la afirmación de la "excepcionalidad" desde el punto de vista empírico de la política y la sociedad comparadas, con respecto a los resultados reales del desempeño. Las perspectivas y características que se exponen a continuación no son definitivas ni exclusivas, pero son útiles para tomar en consideración a la hora de intentar comprender la formación del país y los efectos de ese proceso en la actualidad. Se ofrecen enlaces a fuentes en línea gratuitas y de alta calidad en inglés para fomentar un mayor estudio de la situación contemporánea de Estados Unidos en un contexto comparativo.... view less

Issues of national identity have been constants in American history, up to and including today, with the Civil War being the most notable example of serious disagreement about national identity and unity.

The perspectives and characteristics set forth below are not definitive or exclusive, but are useful to take into consideration when trying to understand the formation of the country and the effects of that process today. Many links to high-quality, cost-free online sources in English are offered to encourage further study of the contemporary situation of the United States in a comparative context.... view less
