A new interpretation of the concepts of "globalization" and "nationalism" is offered. Using which the author manages to link the formation of the Euro-Atlantic form of globalization with the nationalism of the major European nations and ethnic nationalism in the 18th - first half of the 20th century, to reveal the dialectic of contemporary globalization and nationalism in relation to the changed functions of nation states and new forms of state and ethnic nationalism in the late 20th - early 20th century. For philosophers, social scientists and a wide range of readers.
