geographical component to his definition by
characterizing globalization as greater
penetration across nation-state borders

growing irrelevance of physical and
national borders

In term of Cultural :
Involves a complex mix of homogenization and
inceased heterogeneity given the global

a degree of political self-consciousness that
manifests itself as widespread support for or
mobilization in pursuit of a state.

Gellner
(1983)
nationalism as the doctrine that the
political unit (the state) and the cultural
unit (the nation) should be congruent

Croucher
(2004)
the doctrine that a people who see
themselves as distinct in their culture,
history, institutions, or principles
should rule themselves in a political
system that expresses and protects
those distinctive characteristics.

boundaries, economic expansion, mass
migration, general insecurity, political
centralization, obsessive law-making, societal
policing, and drastic militarization, finally
leading to war.

ideologies based on racism, nationalism and
intolerance, thus exacerbating communal
divisions, enemy images and exclusive
identities

for violence, partake and support violent
actions, or contribute through discourse to the
overall securitization of the conflict

How globalization linked to nationalism and lead to conflict and
insecurity ?
Globalization also emerged the new form of
nationalism which was opens up the global
culture, revolution of the technologies and
information and the movement of human
right, cultural recognition that ask for
constitutional change.
Globalization changes the cognitive of the
society.
Globalization promotes the emergence of
supranational or universal identities, the
construction of plural identities.
globalization destroyed national boundaries
by superimposing a plethora of supra-national
and corporate networks , including mafias,
organized crime, and multi-national
corporations(MNCs), none of which are as
easily identifiable on a political map as
sovereign countries still are.

Globalization use as a tool to manipulated by
modern political elites in order to secure power
in the state.
Nationalism as Westernization
The expansion of nationalism throughout the
globe is hence the spreading out of a Western
idea.
global jihad is a reaction against Americanizing
globalization.
But, they are really a challenge to globalization.
Eg. Al-Qaeda relied on globalization in the form of
the global banking and communication system to
promote its objectives and to rally support for a
transnational cause.

the most violent fringes of radical Islam have
been identified as an aspect of Westernizing
modernity (Gray 2003).
Mass migration and global terrorism it is likely
for xenophobia( irrational or unreasoned fear)
to increase
Conclusion

information easier to deliver because it
increased global interconnectedness
In a globalized world with lots of different
cultural influences nationalists might feel
overwhelmed
