TO WHAT EXTENT SHOULD WE
EMBRACE NATIONALISM.
Involvement in International
Affairs
 Economic stability- countries uniting with
one another through trade will cause the
buying and selling of commodities between
countries creating a better and more stable
economy.
 Example- Free Trade
India
 The opening if India's boarders
to trade links with the idea of
self determination. India
needed to become more
economically stable and to do
this they needed to have more
jobs, so it opened its boarders
to trade more of its items to the
rest of the world. In doing this
the economy became stable
and it led to many positive
things for India.
Haiti
 The humanitarianism act within Haiti was
organized by the Red Cross, which resulted in
the union of many different countries around
the world to help a nation in need.
Internationalism was spread through both a
economic aspect as well as a social aspect.
Influential people such as music artists,
politicians and famous people all contributed
their talents and presence to encourage people
to donate money to help the people affected by
the devastating disaster in Haiti.
Afghanistan & Iraq
 Canada and the USA sent troops over to
Afghanistan on a peacekeeping mission. Iraq has
been known for its terrorism and its dictatorship
government. We are helping the people of
Afghanistan for the future. Its not in our best
interest to be fighting but it gives our country a
good global reputation around the world while
we help and promote peace in a country.
 Canada being in Afghanistan is a perfect
example of Nationalism being sacrificed for
internationalism because the problems in their
country will not directly affect Canada.
Explore Types of
Internationalism
 Revolutionary Internationalism-The belief that conflicts
within societies are determined by international factors and
alliances. It can also be known as wanting your nationalism
to be everyone else's nationalism.
 Cuban Revolution- Cuba took up arms in fight for
communism they were encouraging communism on
Capitalist Central American countries.
Explore Types of
Internationalism
 Liberal Nationalism- Achieve
global structures within the
international system that are
inclined towards promoting a
liberal world order. Liberalists
are dedicated to encouraging
democracy to emerge
globally: except change but
would rather stay as they are.
 Franklin Roosevelt
encouraged democracy within
America
Explore Types of
Internationalism
 Hegemonic InternationalismExerting a dominating
influence over other groups
or societies.
 American terrorism is an
example because everyone
around the world has the
same views as the Americans
on what needs to be done to
reduce terrorism like security
checks and the No Fly List.
Foreign Policy
 Foreign Policy is the diplomatic policy of a nation in its
interactions with other nations.
 Multilaterism is closely linked with foreign policy because
its the working together of countries in unison working
together to complete a task.
 Haiti, Katrina and the recent Tsunami in Thailand are
examples of different countries coming together to
complete a task. Nations around the world came together
to achieve a stable living environment that was
destroyed.
Foreign Policy Continued

Another concept that is closely tied with
Foreign Policy is Supra nationalism which is
doing something that looks goof for your
own country but may not necessarily be
beneficial.
 Troops in Afghanistan helping the US is a
perfect example of Supra Nationalism
Foreign policy because it looks gives Canada
a good reputation but is not creating any
benefits for our country. We are also their for
peacekeeping.
 If you have a good reputation the chances of
your country having conflicts with other
nations is smaller. People may also view a
country such as Canada with a good
worldwide reputation as a threat because it
most likely has many alliances.
Foreign Policy Continued
 The Kyoto Protocol is
another example of foreign
policy.
 Kyoto protocol is an
agreement between various
countries to reduce the
amount of greenhouse gases
and limit fossil fuel
production to ensure a
healthier environment.
 It is a widely known
international agreement.
Organizations Promoting
Internationalism
 International organizations promote
internationalism by creating peace
between nations and promoting
humanitarianism.
 Certain organizations also promote
trade and many other economically
dependant relationships between
countries.
 Without these organizations there
would be much more conflict and
tension between nations.
Arctic Council
 The Arctic Council has a
population of about four million
people.
 Over thirty different indigenous
groups all with different
languages and culture are part
of the Arctic Circle.
 It is a intergovernmental forum
which addresses issues faced by
the arctic government and the
people of the arctic(indigenous).
 This organization promotes
internationalism because they
are dealing with the problems
within the arctic nations.
Impacts of Internationalism
 Internationalism creates different issues
worldwide.
 When different countries are working
together and have common goals there are
going to be problems involved in the process.
Conflict
 Internationalism causes conflict between
nations.
 When countries are working together and
benefiting off one another one may
eventually get the short end of the stick and
this will create conflict because they will want
something in return.
Environment
 Internationalism has negative
effects on our environment.
 In 1985 it was scientifically
determined that holes were
developing in the ozone layer.
Countries came together and
determined what could be
done to fix this and future
problems dealing with the
environment.
 Kyoto Protocol and G8
meetings deal with these
problems
Nationalism Sacrificed for
Internationalism
 When countries strive for internationalism it
results in them losing some of their
sovereignty.
 In combining together nations it start to do
things for each other and lose their national
independence.
 A country who is all for Nationalism may be
behind in the international world.
