| description | This article examines the current rise of Western nationalism. The deleterious effects of globalization have inflicted a narcissistic injury on vulnerable groups in Western society. The affected masses seek affiliation with an ideology that empowers them and that has the potential to effect change in their favor.

Policy makers must reconsider global policy in a manner that takes this psychopolitical phenomenon into consideration. |
