“The future does not belong to globalists”: Donald Trump and the political instrumentalization of nationalism.
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2021, Vol 12, Issue 57
Abstract
After the election to the presidency of Donald Trump in 2016, the international debate about nationalism took on a greater importance. The most curious element in the North American case is that the main globalizing agent is now opposing international regimes of which he led the construction. This work seeks to understand how Trump, facing the country's political scenario, sought to instrumentalize and enhance the nationalist sentiment in the countr y in his favor. The research will be carried out by conducting a bibliographic and exploratory surve. It will use public opinion data collected by specialize d agencies, such as Pew Research Center and Gallup, and primary sources, such as speeches, delivered by Trump. The collection of data, together with the analysis carried out, demonstrate that nationalism, historically identified as a term that carries a negative meaning since the post-World War II, gains more space in the domestic sphere and in the foreign policy of the United States. In this dynamic, Trump seeks to explore and enhance nationalist sentiments in the economic, cultural and ethnic spheres.
