Michael Ignatieff turns to the United Kingdom, his adopted home, for the last in his series on nationalism. In Belfast he sees the Orange Order's Twelfth of July celebrations where Protestants reaffirm their Britishness. Three hundred years after the Battle of the Boyne, unease remains among some British Protestants in Northern Ireland about their national status. Are the traditional values of the loyalist community now foreign to the rest of Britain?
Despite all the troubles he has witnessed in making this series, Ignatieff remains guardedly optimistic for the future. "It's good that we're not all the same," he says. "I don't want us all to.be bland cosmopolitan Europeans sittingin wine bars that could be anywhere. Of course, we're all terrified that Yugoslavia could be the future of Europe, but it needn't be. We have to realise that other nations' business is our own; we can't not intervene."
