The degree to which cosmopolitanism and patriotism can coexist has been the

focus of heated scholarly discussion with far-reaching repercussions. While some have
articulated it as a definite criticism, others have seen the human capacity to balance
devotion to relatively narrow and culturally homogenous groups with global citizenship,
cultural openness, and the recognition of difference. In the age of globalization, this essay
will discuss how nationalism and internationalism interact.
It is undeniable that nationalism and internationalism should not be considered as
mutually exclusive opposites and that one will eventually triumph over the other. First, a
more sophisticated and multifaceted form of governance is needed, where governments
only make up one level, given the complicated interconnection that results from
globalization. The nation-state is no longer the only sovereign agent because individual
nation-states are unable to respond to collective questions and because local, global, and
international boundaries are unclear. Transnational organizations, like the United Nations,
are a wonderful illustration of the political entanglements of nationalism and
internationalism. Additionally, the overlap of these two philosophies has been used very
successfully in the past, particularly during the Russian October Revolution. Lenin and
the Bolshevik Party skillfully incorporated the Marxist tenet of the skilled fusion of
patriotism with internationalism in order for the Russian October Revolution to succeed.
In order to inspire the masses of workers and peasants to rise up and carry out a
revolution, there is a close combination of within and outside tactics, including inside
propaganda, teaching of goals and principles, and outside close linkages to working-class
political parties. Workers who embrace the idea of the "Proletariat of the whole world
unite" seize the chance to inspire a revolution.
Furthermore, a rise in global attachment is not always assumed; cultural, personal,
and collective identities might be made up of a range of combinations of social and
territorial attachments. a concomitant decline in commitment to regional or global
communities. Internationalism becomes an extension of multiculturalism when it is
reduced to the simple acceptance of pluralism. Cosmopolitanism is not just about
allowing people to coexist with different identities; it also refers to how the nation and the
world interact, which will positively impact both. Transnational migration and migration
movements are two major examples. Transnational immigrant groups can be referred to as
international communities since they serve as a constant reminder that collective identities
can exist outside of national borders. As a result, identities are fluid and migrants forge
connections across international borders.
To sum up, I think there is a tight relationship between internationalism and
patriotism in some ways.
