^{Page 189 note 3} By national identity is meant the degree to which the individual considers himself to be physically, legally, and psychologically a member of the nation-state, partaking of the benefits, privileges, duties, and obligations attached to that membership. The problem of national identity refers to the degree to which loyalty to sub-national units interferes with loyalty to, and identification with, the nation-state. For a general discussion of national identity, see Verba, Sidney, ‘Comparative Political Culture’, in Pye, Lucien and Verba, Sidney, Political Culture and Political Development (Princeton, 1965), pp. 529–35.Google Scholar
