"On the contrary. Internationalism also recognizes, by its very name, that nations do exist. It simply limits their scope more than one-sided nationalism does"

- Christian Lous Lange

About this Quote

In this quote, Christian Lous Lange is going over the principle of internationalism and how it varies from nationalism. He begins by specifying that internationalism does not reject the presence of nations, as its name might recommend. Rather, it acknowledges that nations do exist but places constraints on their influence. This remains in contrast to one-sided nationalism, which tends to focus on the interests of one nation above all others. By acknowledging the existence of nations however restricting their scope, internationalism promotes cooperation and understanding in between countries instead of competition and conflict. It stresses the value of collaborating on a global scale, while still acknowledging and respecting the specific identities and cultures of various countries.
