[Comment] Offline: The death of globalism (part 2)

The only stable future for the world is through strong nation states, argues Philip Cunliffe in his book The National Interest: Politics after Globalization (2025). The invasion of Ukraine on Feb 24, 2022, was an inflection point that drew political attention to the importance of protecting and strengthening the nation state. Cunliffe observes that political systems are now being slowly renationalised—eg, the re-shoring of supply chains. Enemies of this project of renationalisation must be defeated, purged, or erased: the institutions of globalism—associations and unions of nation states, global governance mechanisms, and international humanitarian laws.
