U3L1 Nations, Nation-States and Internationalism
Introduction
Key Issue
To what extent does involvement in international affairs benefit nations and states?
Internationalism is a political movement that advocates a greater economic and political cooperation among nations for the theoretical benefit of all. Partisans of this movement claim that nations should cooperate because their long term mutual interests are of greater value than their individual short term needs.
Internationalism is, by nature, opposed to ultra-nationalism. It teaches that the people of all nations have more in common than they do differences, and that nations should treat each other as equals.
