>1. gloablism will always lead to more nationalism

if a nation doesnt succeed in the globalized economy, the people will vote for protectionist policies thus becoming more nationalistic (for example greece, usa, uk, etc.).

if a nation is very succesful in the globalized economy, it will want to use its new gained economic strength to pursue national goals and thus becomes more nationalistic/imperialistic (for example turkey, china, etc.).

only if the integration into globalized markets has almost no effect on the national economy nationalism will neither rise nor fall. but this rarely happens, most are winners or losers.

>2. since the rise of nationalism is inevitable, one needs to go: globalism or democracy

there can only be two of these three things at the same time: globalism, democracy, nationalism. since we know that nationalism is staying, in the coming decades we will see one of the others go. which one it will be depends on which countries can dominate. if it is the winners of globalization, the future of mankind will be a globalized economy between authoritarian states that surpress their peoples. if it is the losers of globalization, the future of mankind will be national economies with democratic government.

an example for a country that is globalized and nationalistic is china.

an example for a country that is democratic and nationalistic is russia.

an example for a country that is globalized and democratic doesnt exist, but it could be the EU.

So the mankind has basically three options for this century. It will be dominated by the chinese system, or by the russian system (see for example the victory of trump). there is a slim chance that it will be dominated by the EU, but highly unlikely.
