Grove discusses national conservatism, as articulated by Yoram Hazony, which claims to be a defender of locality and particularity against globalism and universalism. However, Hazony's concept of the nation does not emphasize the importance of place or territory. In contrast, Roger Scruton's understanding of the nation is grounded in the concept of "home" and the way of life that emerges from a particular place. This distinction raises questions about national conservatism's claim to be the "only genuine alternative" to global liberalism and has implications for understanding the authority of the nation-state, federalism, and locality. National conservatives' embrace of federal power and rejection of decentralized governance diverges from traditional American conservatism. Scruton's prioritization of place and territory allows for the idea of a civil society governed by law that emerges from below, rather than by commands from above. The alternative to national conservatism lies in a recommitment to locality and federalism, understanding the American constitutional order as a civil association of self-governing states united for mutual defense and regulation of interstate interaction.
