But I would like to expand the scope of the discussion as well. What do people think of the growing nationalism in other countries? E.g. Brazil, the Philippines, Hungary, Russia, Japan, Turkey, France, Greece and Germany for example--what might be the consequences for international order?
Are these folks just pleased with their own nation, as Mike and Nati seem to be? Or is something else going on? Seems to me the nationalist governments and parties in the above-named countries trend authoritarian.
Could the rise of nationalism be a response to global stessors like refugees and migration? Those plus lower wages and shrinking safety nets?
Dill, it seems to be that you might be suggesting that the rise in nationalism we see today may be of a similar nature to a rise in nationalism that was seen almost a century ago.
