Defensive Nationalism and the Dual Movement in the Age of Innovation

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the phenomenon of defensive nationalism in the context of dynamic technological innovation and globalization processes. Drawing on the work of B. S. Rabinowitz and Karl Polanyi's concept of the "double movement," the text explores the tensions between technical logic and the lived world. The authors conduct a formal and pragmatic reconstruction of contemporary public disputes, pointing to the aporia of both left- and right-wing attempts to defend identity. A key element of the study is the presentation of a specific corrective program, which includes, among other things, the implementation of a defensive nationalism index and the principle of inverse transparency in algorithmic systems. The aim is to develop a new form of supranational legitimacy, in which the nation-state plays the role of guarantor of an order based on rational dialogue and the non-coercive coercion of the better argument, while ensuring the resilience of supply chains and the unity of justification in the public sphere.
