Abstract

The industrial revolution brought about social mobility, which had destructive effects on social and moral values. It went from the narrow community to specific, rotating associations, substitutes for the traditional community. Although there is much talk of "globalization", in fact today there are more nations than ever. Homogenization, as a result of a supposed globalization, is also a fallacy. During the 20th century, an international political pragmatism prevailed that invariably valued what is perceived as a national interest over that of a universal village in gestation. In this paper it is proposed that only a nationalist option with the necessary moral authority, linked to nationality, can contribute to the establishment of new patterns of social cohesion, in accordance with the needs and opportunities offered by industrial modernity. This new nationalist option offers better hope than globalization.
