For the last twenty years, we have been witnessing a rapidly increasing globalization with the development of technology and easy transportation. Although globalization provides many conveniences, it also brings difficulties. Although migration and irregular migrants are increasing due to the influence of policy makers, I think we should see this because of globalization. As long as border states exist, nationalism will continue, and they will defend their country and nationality as any person who feels belonging to the society will do. Globalization, together with factors such as the liberalization of trade, the advancement of technology and the expansion of communication possibilities, further connects the world. This process reduces the importance of national borders and sovereignty, while increasing cultural diversity and awareness of global citizenship. 

 

When we examine the issue of migration under the concept of globalisation, we encounter different sub-headings such as irregular migrants and displaced migrants. Among these sub-headings, the subject I would like to address is displaced migrants. In other words, people who have to leave their own countries due to war, natural disasters or to ensure their safety of life. To date, most of the people who have migrated for this reason have opened up to the world from the Arabian Peninsula due to war. Although we are talking about a subject that needs to be neutral, people may not be inclined to forget their ethnic origins and this is a necessity of human nature. When we compare the increasing sense of nationalism with globalisation, nationalist feelings are an issue caused by immigrants who have come to that country intensively for one reason or another. The harmony of the immigrant nation with the culture in the country of immigration will lead to an increase or decrease in the sense of nationalism. The attitude of the public opinion in the country on this issue also depends on what the media imposes and the general behaviour and attitudes of immigrants in the country.

 

We have seen and experienced the importance of border sovereignty in many areas so far. The view that states that fail to protect their borders will disintegrate still persists, and in fact this is true. A somewhat less emphasized issue is the reduction of national feelings, leading to internal problems. We can define globalization through discourses such as being one body, everyone having a single identity, but the homogenization of different cultures may lead to the loss of local cultures. This homogenization creates the basis for the loss of a sense of belonging in future generations and the rise of a sense of longing for the past. 

Globalization can lead to ethnic conflicts, fear of foreigners, radicalization. The most prevalent argument in this regard is that ethnic nationalism is strengthened by movements for the preservation of regional cultures, which emerge in opposition to globalization’s attempt to impose a single culture. One’s desire for “subjecthood” reinforces this system, which is thought of as a response to globalization, which is perceived as a danger to the survival of indigenous cultures.  However, it is also plausible to argue that each of the processes discussed in the context of the connection among globalization and nationalism has distinct drawbacks and functions in concert to bring out nationalist sentiments to an along impact. 

Although it is accurate that official nationalism is weakened by globalization while also being reproduced throughout the context of impact-response, it is also evident that neither procedure can completely exhaust the other. The increase in global migration is another component of globalization that feeds ethnic nationalism. Here is where the negative effects of migration begin, with immigrants primarily from the world’s developing nations. Due to the aforementioned, the authenticity of ethno-religious-cultural systems has begun to shift in wealthy countries, and ethnic separatism is now expressed in the requests made by ethnic minorities for their common rights.
