The aims of this chapter revolve around three arguments. First, in agreement with the contributions this volume consists of, it demonstrates the continu-ing force and reality of the nation form as the only mode of politics world-wide currently. Against arguments seeing the demise of nationalism as integral to the march to globalization, globalism or a cosmopolitan future on the one hand and its persistence regardless of globalization on the other,1it argues that what characterizes the world is the ‘globalization of national-ism’ (Greenfeld 2016a, b). This globalization has been such that the national seems to substitute as well as prostitute the rational. The responses to COVID-19—in the form of the stories told about its origin, the groups blamed for its spread, the conspiracy theories that surround it, the ways to fight the virus, the competition between nation states to make or procure its vaccine and the increasing aggrandizement of the state power—amply show not only the persistence of nationalism but also its fierce intensification. Indeed, a new term, vaccine nationalism, is now in use by the media, social scientists, health experts and others.2 However, it seems not to have occurred to anyone that the time has arrived to vaccinate nationalism itself.
