  Abstract:  This article aims at presenting the significance of two key‐concepts – ‘habitus’ and ‘agency’– in elaborating a constructivist theoretical model of nation formation in the early modern Western Europe. It is constructed in two parts: while in the first one I present the general constructivist approach and model that I have proposed, in the second part I stress the explanatory role of ‘habitus’ and ‘agency’ in modeling the nation formation process or, in the words of the definition I propose, in the process of fusion between the communities of identity and the political communities, so as the nation became a ‘politically autonomous community of identity’.
