Sovereigntism
Sovereigntism: the contemporary vindication of the nation-state against supranational integration.
Sovereigntism is the contemporary political current that vindicates the primacy of the nation-state against supranational integrations (EU, Mercosur, UN) and international law. Manifestations: Brexit (2016), Euroscepticism of Le Pen, AfD, Salvini, PiS, Trump ('America First'). From the republican-constitutionalist perspective, productive debate distinguishes legitimate defense of democratic self-government from xenophobic closure. Gauchet, Manent, Mounk analyze it critically.
