Chapter 11 Internationalism and Nationalism

To what extent do efforts to promote

internationalism through world organizations affect nationalism?

Page 2: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

IN THIS CHAPTER

We will be learning about:• Key terms; responsibility to protect, common human heritage,

and trickle-down effect and voluntary balkanization.• The WTO (world trade organization).• The relationship between the WTO and sovereign governments.• Developing responses to the following questions:

• How have changing world conditions promoted internationalism?• How have the United Nations’ changing international responses

affected nationalism?• How do the responses of various international organizations affect

nationalism?

Page 3: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

HOW HAVE CHANGING WORLD CONDITIONS PROMOTED THE NEED FOR INTERNATIONALISM? Pg 254

Changing world conditions have promoted the way people travel, communicate, socialize, and experience other new things. The more the world becomes more internationally connected the more effect it has on other countries as a whole. This can effect culture, health or politics. A big way the world has promoted internationalism is from air travel. A few other big effects that the international community faces is climate change and terrorism. This is when global decisions are needed.

Global CommunicationPg 254

By the 1960’s the internet still did not exist but many people were sure that an information revolution was going to happen the way that data was being transferred and stored.

A man named Marshall McLuhan already knew that this was happening. The way that technology was developing made it easier to buy things or cheaper to store important information. Marshall said that the electronic information systems was going to have a huge impact on human societies.

Page 5: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

The Global VillageThe invention of new technology such as the internet and so on

that are used today prove that there are no barriers between people around the world and the way they communicate.

Page 6: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Voluntary Balkanization

• Not all people believe that an online community promotes an international frame of mind.

• Marshall van Alstyne and Erik Brynjolfsson are two experts who studied the online community, and their research has shown that people only connect with people like themselves.

• As a result, these same people only trust those people with the same values and become less willing to trust those whose values are different from their own.

• Example: Star Trek fans, sports fans, medical professionals, and even militia groups

Page 7: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Voluntary Balkanization continued

• Balkanization is the separation of people into isolated, hostile groups.– An example of this is what happened in the former

Yugoslavia.• Van Alstyne and Brynjolfsson are concerned

with this process because it will make it difficult for people to understand the views of others.

• Losing the bonds created by these experiences may harm the structure of democratic societies.

Page 8: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

HOW HAVE THE UNITED NATIONS’ CHANGING INTERNATIONAL RESPONSES AFFECTED NATIONALSIM? pg 257

• Some of the people think that the UN should be re-evaluated, due to some of the things that have happened.– Rwanda and Yugoslavia.

• The people say this because they did not stop the violence in the two countries they are not effective.

Page 9: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Changing the direction of the United Nations

• In 2004 a panel of diplomats and international leaders considered the future of the UN .

• They sent out a report called A More Secure World: Our Shared Responsibility . – It recommended the UN should relax its tradition of staying out

of internal conflicts.• Also in the report the UN has a responsibility to protect

( means that UN has to protect people in a country that is not enough security.)– This protection could include humanitarian aid , diplomatic

missions, and as a last resort- military force

Iran Challenges U.N. page 258

• Iran signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968 to prevent spread of nuclear weapons.

• The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) found out that Iran had been making uranium for 18 yrs in secret.

• Uranium can be used for domestic use or for nuclear weapons build-up.

• Iran refused to stop the uranium build-up after the IAEA told Iran to stop.

• The Iranian government threatened the U.S.A.. People believe that Iran is building up their nuclear weapons to carry out their threats

• Iran does not want to succumb to other nations demands and sacrifice their national interests.

Protecting Common Human Heritage

• The U.N. created the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 1945.

• The UNESCO was created to create respect for all civilizations and culture.

• One of the challenges that the UNESCO has is to protect the natural and cultural sites the are apart of a human heritage.

If killer whales were considered part of the natural heritage, would the international community do more to protect these mammals?

Threats to the Common Human Heritage

Pg.261

The 2000 year old statue of the Buddha in Bamiyan, Afghanistan. It was destroyed in 2001 by the Taliban government. It is now being rebuilt by the current Afghan government .

Did the Taliban leaders have the right to destroy the Buddha statues?

Mount Robson

• Mount Robson is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.

Mount Robson

3954 meters tall

Mount Robson is located in British Columbia

Page 18: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

World Heritage Sites in CanadaDinosaur Provincial Park

Richest fossil beds in the world.

These are what the badlands look like

The Dinosaur Provincial Park is around Drumheller

Some fossilsThe fossils are 65 million to 100 million years old

This is the Royal Tyrell Museum were all the fossils found go.

Page 19: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

The historic Prince of Wales Hotel is a landmark in Waterton Lakes National Park. In 1931, this park was united with Glacier National Part in Montana to form the first international peace park. The purpose was to emphasize that

international co-operation is required to protect natural areas. But what might happen if the government decided to sell the park because the money was needed to support a program that was in the national interest?

Page 20: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

A major problem that this organization has is that in sovereign nation-states what occurs within their borders is all under their control.

UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization) was made to protect common human heritage.

Page 21: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

HOW DO THE RESPONSES OF VARIOUS INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZTIONS AFFECT NATIONALSIM?

Indonesian farmers gathered to protest WTO director general Pascal Lamy’s visit to their country. The farmers believe that WTO rules will prevent their government from protecting domestic agriculture and that this will destroy their livelihoods. Is the WTO the most appropriate target for protests like this?

Page 22: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Economic organizations• When trade increases everyone

benefits-big business , small business and individuals.

• Trickle-down effect- all countries become stronger and richer because when developed countries have more money, they will spend more money on products from developing countries .

• WTO and the EU promote this idea.

Page 23: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Trickle- down effects

Rich people with big businesses

have more money and invest in more

business opportunities

They spend more

moneyWorkers get more business in work in small business in less developed

countries

Improved communication, faster and safer transportation,

and trade are some of the forces that shape globalization but also shape the growth of

internationalism. May encourage internationalism and co-operation among countries.

Page 24: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

The World Trade Organization is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.

MANY POEPLE OPPOSE THE WTO

What bias does this cartoon favor?

Page 25: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

As of 2008 the WTO had 150 member!!!

“What make’s the WTO so powerful is that it has the… authority to challenge laws, policies, and programs of countries that do not conform to WTO rules and strike them down if they are seen to be too ‘trade restrictive.’”Maude Barlow

When a WTO ruling has been created, it is required for the world to conform.

Page 26: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

The European Union, 2008Both WW 1 and WW II began as conflicts between European countries and spread around the world. Do you believe that co-operating in the EU reduces the chances that another war will start in the same way?

Page 27: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Canada Supports WTO• Canada supports the WTO and believes the WTO

can strengthen Canada’s economic security• Canada’s prosperity depends on open world

market , stable and transparent trade environment , and means to settle trade disputes through rules rather than political or economic power

• Membership in WTO helps Canada achieve these objectives

Page 28: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Smaller powers may oppose the WTO

• Trade agreements may hurt economies because the larger power usually makes the rules

• It may also effect smaller economies because the larger power may use its size to scare and push the smaller economy around to get what they want

• The smaller power may try to tell the authorities but this is rare and they are usually threatened to stay silent other wise be “beaten up”

Page 29: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Cultural and Language-Based Organizations pg 266

• Groups that share a common bond over language and culture.

• Examples: Indigenous peoples and Francophones– These groups work to

promote their identities.

Page 30: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

International Indigenous Peoples Organization

• Formed in 1973 to further the mutual interests of Indigenous peoples.

• World Council of Indigenous Peoples (WCIP) was one of the first international groups focused on Indigenous peoples rights.

• Other examples include:– Inuit Circumpolar Conference– Arctic Councils Conference

The Arctic Council

• In 1961, all eight of the worlds Arctic reps met to discuss ways to protect the environment there. The Arctic council was formed five years later.

• Today the Arctic council deals with, biodiversity, sustainability, emergency preparedness, living conditions for Arctic residents, pollution, and climate change.

Page 31: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Inuit hunters follow polar bear tracks across the snow-covered ice of Frobisher Bay near Tonglait, Nunavut. Older Inuit remember spending up to 10 months a year on the land, but global climate change has reduced this time so that six months is now the upper limit in many areas. How might the issue of global climate change highlight the importance of the Artic Council?

Page 32: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

Page 267

The La Francophonie is a cultural and linguistic community of nations.

Not all governments in the La Francophonie are

national. For example Canada is

Including Quebec and New Brunswick or also a part

of it.

The La Francophonie Flag (above)

French was an official language of international organizations as of1970.

Page 33: Chapter 11  Internationalism and Nationalism

• La Francophonie promotes democracy, the French language, and supports education and sustainable development.• The La Francophonie became a organization in

1970.

Making a Difference

Read “Making a Difference” Mary Simon – A Life Devoted to Activism

Would you describe Mary as a nationalist or a internationist – or both? Cite evidence to support your judgment.

Would membership in international organizations like th Inuit Circumpolar Conference and the Arctic Council be likely to strengthen or weaken the Inuit sense of national identity?
