Introduction
Introduction 

In the hyper-connected, globalized world economy of today, the goal of the economic nationalism for a nation is to promote its economic growth and prosperity of its citizens. It represents a set of country-specific economic practices to create, strengthen and protect a nation’s economy in the context of international markets. Economic nationalism encourages economic policies aimed at promoting domestic control of consumption, labor and capital formation. It questions the benefits of unrestricted global free trade. The economic nationalism often calls for trade protectionism, limiting imports, increasing exports, currency manipulation and restricting immigration (Pryke, 2012). There is a relationship between economic nationalism and foreign direct investment (FDI) in emerging markets. The public opinion and prevailing preferences regarding FDI affect the location decisions of multinational companies(Jacobsen and Jacobsen, 2011). 
The recent trend of economic nationalism or protectionism is a product of the rapid globalization, the recent economic crisis, trade deficits and the nationalist movements. The globalization is also perceived as a threat to national security by some countries as they perceive the national greatness in terms of military power (Ali, 2017). Recent examples of economic nationalism include UK exiting from European Union (BREXIT, 2017), the U.S. pulling out of the multilateral Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal involving twelve countries while Japan trying to achieve a deal among the remaining eleven countries (Nikkei Asian Review, 2017). The opposition to Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between U.S. and the European Union signals a new environment with a potential for nationalistic, protectionist and anti-globalization policies. 
Economic nationalism can be understood in terms of local government economic policies, attitudes of domestic firms towards foreign domestic investment, the attitudes of consumers towards foreign goods and firms, and the interaction of the multi-national firms and domestic firms. The expectations model of economic nationalism includes the people’s expectations of their government, domestic firms, and the general public, in terms of restricting the activities of foreign firms. (Akhter, 2007; Nakano, 2004). An alternative view of economic nationalism differentiates it from protectionism and defines as leveraging of national resources to secure economic benefits from the world economy. This view holds that the countries are not only active participants in globalization but they continue to strategically express nationalism in new global settings by supporting national firms and citizens overseas. Business leaders of the multinational corporations focus not only on the benefits that they will derive from entering a country, but also the benefits they will deliver to their domestic economy by investing capital in a foreign country (D’Costa, 2009). 
Different countries practice economic nationalism in different ways based on their emerging priorities in the social, political and economic contexts. Both the developed economies and developing economies are exhibiting a recent surge in economic nationalism. The increasing globalization and the growth of world markets through greater exports has threatened the economic growth of developed economies that import more than export like the U.S.A. Many Asian firms have become globally competitive by using the processes of globalization and economic nationalism. Through effective firm strategy and economic nationalistic policies of China, the Chinese multi-national firm Huawei has exceeded Swedish firm Ericsson for making telecommunication equipment. Other examples include Lenovo and Haier from China and Infosys from India. Many Western nations including U.S. are beginning to warm up to the idea of using economic nationalistic policies to promote their own industries and make them more competitive globally (D’Costa, 2012). A country’s economic openness affects its economic nationalism. The economic interests of a country in the domestic market relative to its interests in the foreign market influence its economic nationalism sentiment. Increasing the foreign trade reduces the economic interests in the domestic market and thus weakens its economic nationalism. Using the Chinese Political Compass data and the World Value Surveys data, this prediction holds both cross-sectionally and over time. Based on the cross-country data, this also applies to the analysis of nationalism across countries. (Lan and Li, 2015). 
Economic nationalism can be misinterpreted as anti-globalization and isolation, which can be self-defeating for a nation in the hyper-connected world economy. The complexity of the implementation of economic nationalism lies in preserving self-interest and promoting international economic partnerships. Economic nationalism can co-exist with globalization. Economic nationalistic policies can be used to manage the globalization processes to a country’s own advantage. Globalization can be used as a means to serve the developmental needs of a country using economic nationalistic policies to have access to foreign capital, expertise and markets leading to export-oriented domestic industries. Economic Nationalism is not just a "protectionist" ideology. Economic Nationalism demonstrates the economic significance of policies that promote the industries in a nation to grow and expand beyond its national borders to become global. It is associated with context-specific economic policies including support for economic liberalization and globalization (Helleiner, 2004; Stiglitz, 2002). 
The multinational firms are facing an increasingly unstable international investment climate due to the economic nationalism leading to foreign assets being taken over by domestic governments by nationalizing the strategic assets like minerals and oil (Wagner and Disparte, 2016; Green, 2008). The CEO’s and managers of the multi-nationals have to explore the political-risk insurance. For domestic and multi-national firms, the negative sentiments about immigration will have an impact on global talent management, foreign domestic investment and mergers and acquisitions. The business leaders of domestic and multinational firms have to devise new strategies to deal with the governments, consumers and markets in this new environment. The multinational corporations have to overcome the protectionist sentiments among consumers and government regulators and reinvent their corporate social responsibility models. They have to think about the new strategies in dealing with the country-specific perspectives of economic nationalism.
