The Nation or the World

Writer Or Rosenboim explains the ideas of Donald Trump. He also explains how globalism does not correlate or affect nationalism. President Trump is described as a nationalist and a globalist. Many wonder how you can be both, but President Trump indicates it is possible. Nationalism and globalism can coexist. People can have extreme pride for their own country as well as having the entire world’s best interests, but our president is an extreme nationalist.

Rosenboim states the “idea that globalism is fundamentally at odds with national sovereignty is a false and misleading narrative,” (Rosenboim). Globalization is becoming modernized to fit the world’s interests

A tenet can be described as a belief or thought. He said “three core tenets anchored globalism then and continue to do so now,” (Rosenboim). Globalists in the first tenet were distracted by the fate of democracy. Totalitarianism and authoritarianism posed an “existential threat to democracy as an idea and a political reality,” (Rosenboim). Democracy is what many countries are established as today and globalization attempts to create the world as “one.” Globalist tried to combat this ideology by creating a fallback plan for democracy. The plan was meant to advance equality, inclusion, and togetherness for the world. The second tenet was the rejection of empires. Globalism was used to reorganize the world after the destructions of the previous world war. Globalism helped countries such as the United States and the Soviet Union try to establish themselves as the dominant world power, or the hegemony. Lastly, the third tenet addressed the creation of world order. “The globalist gaze on the world identified both interconnectedness and diversity as the constitutive elements of the post-war era,” (Rosenboim). Globalist of today must think about how states with

He may state he is a globalist for peace and prosperity with other countries’ leaders, but he is not worried about other countries. President Trump is a realist and puts the United States interests first. The three core tenets used to identify globalization are huge. The fate of democracy is the first tenet. The fate will be in good hands as long the hegemonic power of the world is a democracy. As the world’s hegemony, the country has the biggest influence on all the nations and how they can and will interact. Globalization making the world as “one” can be seen as good and bad. The world as one would mean peace and prosperity for everyone. Although this can seem ideal, without differences in countries’ political views, there would be no reason for a hegemon and therefore the U.S. could not influence the world to adapt to its own ways. The second tenet states the influence of empires and imperialism. Without empires, countries are free to do their own thinking and do not have to succumb to pressure built by an empire. As long as there is no empires, then the world should be a free thinking, battling place which is overall good for the stability of everyone. Since there is a rejection of empires, the world will look to always have a hegemon to be the “world’s police.” The current hegemon of the world is the United States and should be for years to come. The third tenet deals with world order. The way that the world is modernized today means that
