Critical analysis identifies political myths as a theoretical model, highlighting implications for empirical studies.
Based on a critical analysis of explanatory frameworks, the article aims to identify theoretical models treating nation-state-building myths as an explaining factor. In doing so, it reveals an explanatory potential of this theoretical category and facilitates the selection of political myths as a theoretical grounding of empirical analysis. It shows the variety of possible ways of theorising political myths. Moreover, it aims to determine their correctness and applicability to empirical studies. The analyses contribute to studies on myths by exposing the strengths and limitations of selected explanatory models. Finally, they uncover possible scopes and directions for developing the current models.
