Economic Nationalism – Old-new Phenomenon in the Global Economy
Economic Nationalism – Old-new Phenomenon in the Global Economy

Summary/Abstract: Although economic nationalism constitutes an important determinant of economic policy of numerous countries, this phenomenon appears to be relatively under-investigated within the political economy. Economic nationalism is primarily associated with economic policies of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It also provides an ideological basis for the mercantilist-oriented development strategy of the so called East Asian tigers. In spite of the liberalization of the economic systems, a series of financial crises of the last decades has led to a renaissance of this phenomenon. The purpose of this article is to analyze the concept of economic nationalism as well as its types, and prevalence in the contemporary global economy.
