ABSTRACT
NATIONALISM REMAINS the issue for our time. The allure of imperi-alism and concern with the national interest by the "great powers," no less than the vision of sovereignty and the right to self-determination by the colonized, has dominated the politics of modernity. By the same token, beneath the surface, an opposing vision was also taking shape. And so, even while recent events center on the role of nationalism, a new internationalism is becoming anchored in a host of transnational political institutions and the increasing economic interdependence among nations. The question is how to judge these two trends from the perspective of general strategies consonant with the expansion of global justice, republicanism, and economic equality.
