Does globalization mean that the world is a whole? Can nationalism be dissolved? Illustrate the contemporary development of nationalism and its influence on international relations with examples.

The reasons why nationalism cannot be eliminated:

I. Economy

The process of globalization is dominated by western countries and embodies western values, while nationalism often deviates from western values. In the development stage of human society dominated by capitalist mode of production, the development of globalization is bound to be more integrated with western values, mainly reflecting the economic interests of western countries. In the integration of nation and nation-state, nationalism, as an ideological weapon to safeguard national interests, inevitably emphasizes national values. The collision between globalization and nationalism, on the one hand, has produced a certain degree of integration, on the other hand, it has more tenaciously reflected the traditional culture and values of the nation.

Second, culture.

Globalization emphasizes the homogeneity and integration of interests, while nationalism highlights the differences and diversity of interests. Globalization emphasizes common interests and supranational interests. Under the trend of globalization, all countries in the world are actively or passively seeking common interests and developing cooperative relations, which embodies a sense of existence and global consciousness. Nationalism, on the other hand, embodies a strong sense of identity and belonging to national history and cultural traditions, emphasizing national consciousness, national characteristics and national interests. In the real society, different ethnic groups have different historical backgrounds and development paths, and the practical problems they face are very different, and their respective interests and needs are also very different. Therefore, if globalization pursues the homogeneity and integration of interests, then nationalism presents differences and diversity.

Third, politics.

Globalization is compatible, permeable and absorptive to all nations and countries, making the international community more open and extensive. Theoretically, the development of globalization will tend to the integration of the world. Nationalism, on the other hand, shows strong exclusiveness, separateness and narrowness under certain conditions.

Contemporary development

The manifestations of contemporary nationalism mainly include: first, national separatism; second, religious nationalism formed by the interweaving of nationalism, religion and terrorism. Religion has become a symbol of the expansion of nationalism. Terrorism is increasingly appearing in racial issues. Third, racial xenophobia and tribal vendetta. Fourth, nationalism has increasingly become a tool for developed countries to intervene and manipulate developing countries. The above four manifestations also reflect the negative effects of contemporary nationalism, which is harmful to the healthy development of the world economy and the development of international relations and cooperation. But contemporary nationalism also has a positive effect. Nationalism is conducive to promoting democracy, raising people's awareness of participating in politics, encouraging national self-determination, ensuring that sovereignty belongs to the people and fully enjoying democratic political rights; It can strengthen national cohesion, help develop national economy and promote modernization; Help to protect cultural diversity; It is conducive to blocking imperialism, and nationalism is a powerful weapon for weak countries to resist colonial rule and military intervention by big countries. But objectively speaking, the negative effect of contemporary nationalism is more obvious than the positive effect, so it is not difficult to understand that when people mention nationalism, it is always derogatory, and condemning nationalism is outdated and dangerous. In this contemporary world with the theme of peace and development, nationalism is bound to be curbed. Although the power of nationalism has been strengthened since the 20th century, and it is more extensive and surging, we have to admit that the trend of globalization, the rise of supranational international organizations and the complexity of their functions all show that the function of nationalism in the 20th century is gradually being weakened, and there are more and more political immigrants, economic immigrants and cultural immigrants. All these show and practice the possibility of supranational identity and regional and global integration. 2 1 century will no longer be a century of nationalism, but a century of globalization and global integration. At present, the trend of global integration and interdependence among countries is constantly strengthening, the trend of humanitarianism, globalism or internationalism is on the rise, and nationalism, which poses a certain threat to world peace, shows signs of decline.
