Globalization and Nationalism
The concept of globalization has improved rapidly in the recent past. Globalization is a process of integration and interaction of people, economy, culture, trade around the world. Nationalism is a philosophy that shows how a personal devotion and loyalty to their nation surpasses other personal interest. Historically people have a special attachment to their home of birth, their forefathers and parents culture. Globalization has increasingly exposed our lives to each other. It has enhanced solidarity, sympathy, and tolerance among people leaving in the different part of the world. Globalization is also a process of unifying the people around the world into a single society so as to work as a unit (Roudometof,

Violent religious extremism has become a global menace, terrorist attacks conducted by Al-Qaeda in the United States’ Washington DC and New York in September 2001, Isis terror group in Syria and Iraq, the Al Shabaab and Boko Haram in Africa has brought more suffering to the inhabitants of the host countries. Today, violent extremism is identified as exploitative and violent global movement than a radical religious ideology (Baylis & Owen, 2017). The impact of these terrorist attacks has been witnessed in almost all continents. The importance of explaining the prevalence of global terrorism and violent religious extremism lies within these three aspects, religion, culture and economics. Terrorism groups can now access sophisticated propaganda medium like twitter, face-book and you-tube. A decade ago were limited to the primitive typed …show more content…
It has also promoted the feeling of insecurity among citizens of different nation through increase in proliferation of dangerous weapons like nuclear bombs. Globalization also leads to the loss of national identity and national culture through Migration (Conversi, 2014). This loss of national identity is the main cause for the increase in xenophobic attacks in many countries. The sovereignty of a nation is sometimes infringed by the international organization such as International Monetary Funds (IMF), World bank and World Trade Organization which can sometimes make decision that will influence the governance and operations of given countries, thereby losing their financial nationalism and sovereignty.

Globalization in the past 80 years has connected our world exceptionally well compared to the years before. Just under 80 years ago, when World War II ended, people saw an opportunity to grow together and learn from past mistakes. Globalization has brought the world together which has caused poverty rates to go down, work systems to become stronger leading to more accessibility, and overall life expectancy to increase.

The number of such events outnumbered 20 and the number of people killed was nearly 160 million. In the history of the 20th century with its Nazism, ethnic cleansing, deportations, clash of empires, wars in Yugoslavia and Post-Soviet territories, violence that touched upon even Africa and Asia – it is nationalism to be blamed to be the reason of all this cruelty that existed globally in the 1900s. However, does nationalism always lead to genocide? In this essay, I would try to give an answer to this question and prove my opinion that nationalism in practice frequently leads to genocide, analyzing theory and history of the twentieth century particularly. I would try to shortly explain how nationalism is understood by different sociologists and historians, what was naturally meant by nationalism and what it became in practice,
The Warwick debate provides approaches to the study of nationalism. It laid the foundation for the development of two approaches to the study of nationalism. The first approach is Smith’s primordial approach and the other is Gillnets modernist approach. Smith’s argument begins with the definition of nationalism and the difference between a state and a nation.
It is not so much that individuals are nationalist, but the wrong definition they have of the term that has led to it bringing a negative connotation to the term. In his essay “Wrong Ism” J.B. Priestley explains, “When a man says “my country” with real feeling, he is thinking about his region, all that has made up his life, and not about the political entity, the nation” (283). This way of thinking has a high scale of negative impact on how people see and react to what they believe to be foreign. In addition, nationalism has changed through the years to become an unstable and unhealthy way of thinking. Priestly adds, “If we deduct from nationalism all that is has borrowed or stolen from regionalism, what remains is rubbish” (283).
Introduction Nowadays people can communicate easily. They can share their ideas, their cultures even with people who are not in their countries. They can trade, transporting products around the world in just a few days. This is a big economy where everything related to each other. This is globalization.
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. The most common example of globalization might be Ebay or Amazon. Nowadays flows of goods and services are not only cheap and fast, but reliable and secure.
Moving on to the idea of nationalism, Ernest Gellner (1997) understood nationalism as a product of industrial society. He defines nationalism as “primarily a political principle, which holds that the political and national unit should be congruent” (Guibernau and Rex 1997: 52). Nationalism, Gellner says is either a product of feeling of anger when the principle discussed above is not fulfilled or a product of feeling of satisfaction aroused by its fulfilment. Therefore, “nationalism is a theory of political legitimacy” (Guibernau and Rex 1997: 52). Gellner justifies the repercussions of the idea of “nationalism is a theory of political legitimacy” by discussing how the political effectiveness of national sentiment impairs the sensibility of the nationalists to realise the wrong committed by the nation.
The exceptionally notoriety of the word 'globalization’ signals a require for caution. The word was barely utilized some time recently the late 1980s, indeed in scholarly circles, but nowadays you can barely open a daily paper without experiencing the term. It might effortlessly show up to is an elegant name utilized to assign wonders around which one has as it were the vaguest thoughts. However to dispose of the concept of globalization, and the huge consideration agreed the marvels it envelops, on such grounds, would be silly. There is a genuine require for a common, non-specific term to portray the complex, multi sided ways in which the world is inter-connected, and progressively so.
The Twenty Years’ Crisis 1919-1939: An Introduction to the study of International Relations, the book for which E.H. Carr is perhaps most remembered was written just prior to the outbreak of World War Two (WWII). This particular work of Carr’s is primarily a study of the fundamentals of International Relations, which is exemplified especially by the events of the two decades before 1939, the year the book was published. In the Twenty Years Crisis, E.H. Carr explores the interplay of the worldview between Utopians and Realists. Carr’s work examines why the League of Nations and the peace as implemented by the Treaty of Versailles failed, ultimately resulting in WWII.
Many western countries are now shying away from globalism as a whole. Globalist and nationalist have begun to clash and argue with each other, leaving the world asking which system the world should follow. In order to ensure prosperity and success for every country, globalism is needed over nationalism to an extend. Since the majority of trade any country does is international, and it’s been shown that individual economies are interdependent on each, the current state of everyone’s economy is global.
Globalization and Nation States Globalization has integrated and intertwined the economies of the world. In the world today, every nation has become independent on every other nation, be it through trade or through finance. Developing countries today are attracting large rounds of foreign investment, and this foreign investment is coming from the developed countries. Thus, the money of the developed countries is today invested in the developing countries.

Globalization and Cosmopolitanism for a long time have been used interchangeably to create a sense of boundarylessness. The two words, however, are not synonymous. Globalization has a single dimension, economic globalization. Cosmopolitanism, on the other hand, is multidimensional and addresses various aspects of the social world. The multifaceted nature of cosmopolitanism has changed the history of the social worlds (Nussbaum 2008).
