- Internationalism is a movement which advocates a greater economic and political cooperation among nations for the theoretical benefit of all. [1] Partisans of this movement, such as supporters of the World Federalist Movement, claim that nations should cooperate because their long-term mutual interests are of greater value than their individual short term needs. Internationalism is another reaction of the same general kind - and to the very same general circumstances. Like 'nationalism', it is far more ambiguous and complicated than the self-image in which it lives. Capitalist internationality generated both nationalism and internationalism, in fact, and since the rise and fall of Napoleon's French Revolutionary Empire these political world-views have existed in permanent, uneasy tension with one another. Internationalism is by nature opposed to ultranationalism, jingoism and national chauvinism. [2] Internationalism teaches that the people of all nations have more in common than they do differences, and thus that nations should treat each other as equals. The term internationalism is often wrongly used as a synonym for cosmopolitanism. 'Cosmopolitanist' is also sometimes used as a term of abuse for internationalists. Internationalism is not necessarily anti-nationalism, as in the People's Republic of China and Stalinist countries.
