ELI5: Nationalism and Globalism

Hi! I'm wondering about the stances of nationalism and globalism.

These are two political stances that I've heard about, and wondering exactly what they imply.

Thanks!

First, it's important to note that both of these are generally derogatory terms used to put down the political opposition. As such, you'll often see them miss used or applied in odd ways.

Nationalism: the belief that your nations interests must come first, regardless of the effects on other people or nations. A nationalist would be in favor of strictly limiting refugee intake if there's a risk terrorism or instability, regardless of how small that risk is.

Globalism: the belief that nations must act to benefit everyone, even if it comes at the detriment of the nation enacting the policy. A globalist would be in favor of expanding the number if refugees allowed into the nation, even if it resulted in some economic or safety risks.
