Pan-nationalism is unique in that it covers a large area span.

Pan-nationalism implies that the 'national group' is dispersed over several existing states.

Pan-nationalism is less likely to ethnically specify the nation.

"We're talking a mix of colonialism, neocolonialism, tribalism, religious conflicts, foreign troops, modern weapons, economic decline, political aspirations, international debts, racism, nationalism and pan-nationalism," the briefing officer had told them, before they had first shipped out for Africa.

Over the past few years, pan-nationalism has also been used by organizations such as the Pan-Nationalist Movement, to describe a political ideal which seeks to give every nation, described as an amalgamation of ethnicity and culture their own state.

She describes Arab nationalism, like many other forms of pan-nationalism, as a type of cultural imperialism eating away at the diversity and cultural creativity of both the Arabic-speaking national majorities (who often speak widely divergent vernaculars) and the non-Arabic speaking minorities throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
