ABSTRACT / The lecture will emphasize the continuing relevance of nationalism in a global age, the bright side of nationalism, and the fact that there is no contradiction between nationalism and globalism – they can actually support one another. The main message will be: “in the twenty-first century, good nationalists should be globalists, because only global cooperation can ensure the security and prosperity of people in your nation.”
