Q&A: Nationalism, Globalism, and Illiberalism

Share

Published August 24, 2022

How do nationalism and globalism manifest in governments, and are they inherently illiberal? How do countries use nationalism and globalism? Why do many people prefer nationalism over globalism?

Discussion Questions:

  1. Does nationalism reflect a country’s good aspects or negative ones?
  2. Are nationalism and globalism separate phenomena or are they two sides of the same coin?
