ECONOMIC NATIONALISM AND ECONOMIC LIBERALISM IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY

Considered as a system dating back to antiquity and serving only to harm a state, Economic Nationalism (EN) is taking on an exponential dimension in economic research and political debates. The purpose of this article is to show the importance of the EN in the current international economic system, even if it was perceived as dangerous by liberals. Some have detached themselves from this ideology by pointing out that Economic Liberalism (EL) uses certain instruments of EN. Through the existing literature and lived reality, we note and demonstrate that the EN has and always existed because of its pragmatism. All liberal countries used the EN before their economic take-offs and continue to use it tacitly in various forms. The historical approach was used to make this analysis.
