U3L3 Internationalism and Nationalism

Introduction

Key Issue
To what extent do efforts to promote internationalism through world organizations affect nationalism?

Many of the forces that shape globalization such as trade, transportation and improved communications also shape the growth of internationalism.  Each of these forces increases contact among countries at both governmental and non-governmental levels.  Some people believe increased contact to have both positive and negative consequences.  It may promote internationalism and cooperation among countries but it may also erode the sovereign power of nation states.
