Can Nationalism stop Globalization?

No. 

no

^ bullsh*t..

those that feel threatened by it can fight and they are.. and you can win little battles (Trump and Brexit).. but still never have a chance to win the larger war against globalism, multiculturalism and all that jazz.

So, all of these efforts are just putting off the inevitable. Seems like a waste of time and effort then.

Not sure. I fear it can't.

One currency, one government and one rule of law! Nice ideal but open to the worst control mechanisms ever. Did we not already have Ein Fuhrer, Ein Volk, Ein Reich ? That failed thankfully. Then we had the "Socialist paradise" aka USSR and that went nowhere. 

In answer to the OP, I doubt it.

By the way, cultural globalization has concerned me.

While there are positive aspects of cultural globalization (or globalisation depending upon how one likes to spell) regarding the exchange of ideas around the world, the acceptance of people from around the world, and cultures can evolve in positive ways when exposed to other cultures, I have been concerned about cultural erosion and used to be particularly concerned about consumerist culture's effect. When I lived in Japan I refused to eat at McDonald's, for instance. As a traveler I appreciate differences between places and peoples (of course one finds subcultures in cultures too). Not that I expect the world to become culturally homogeneous (one doesn't even find cultural homogeneity within groups of people with the same ethnic and national identity from the same region). That globalization can bridge differences can certainly be a good thing and as I said, the global exchange of ideas is important, but I like various ideas of a fairly distinct cultural identity.

I think when I studied Sociology my biggest fear was that cultural globalization would really equal much the same as Americanization, especially in that it would be the adoption of American consumerist culture, including fast food culture, Hollywoodization etc. across the world, but that was decades ago.

Harmony? Love? Peace? I hope so but I doubt it, unfortunately.

So long as there is a need for extremists to impose their "values" there won't be a utopian type globalisation.

Nationalism is the refuge of the frightened bigot. This may not stop globalisation but cause more fragmentation. Our world leaders are range from the quite good (Trudeau) to the abysmal (45). Some are the usual average standard (May) others might be less predictable (as we watch what happens in France).

Next step the dissolution of the EU? Economically still a good idea but fragmented by prejudice and fear. These issues are fanned by self interested politicians rather than addressed in a responsible way. Ironically speeding up the pace for a global ... structure?

Religious extremism and it's extremist opposition is the real unpredictable element.

I hope it doesn't bugger up the Champions League too much. That would be a bad thing...

Like nuclear war... or living with that threat all over again. Well done those guys. Thanks a bunch.
