NATIONALISM..Nationalism is a political, social, and economic system characterized by the promotion of the interests of a particular nation, especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining sovereignty over the homeland. The political ideology of nationalism holds that a nation should govern itself, free from outside interference and is linked to the concept of self-determination. Nationalism is further oriented towards developing and maintaining a national identity based on shared, social characteristics, such as culture and language, religion and politics, and a belief in a common ancestry. Nationalism, therefore, seeks to preserve a nation's culture, by way of pride in national achievements, and is closely linked to patriotism, which, in some cases, includes the belief that the nation should control the country's government and the means of production.

exclusion or detriment
exclude: deny (someone) access to or bar (someone) from a place, group, or privilege.
detriment: the state of being harmed or damaged.
This and no other country lives in a vaccuum that is totally self sustaining. we rely on and are relied on global exchange of goods, services and ideas. we are a nation of 'immigrants' allegedly. Which makes the idea of EXCLUDING or causing DETRIMENT to other nations, a poor one.
