Q:

Do you consider the threat of nationalism universal?

Soros:

There is something self-contradictory in your question because nationalism ought to be, by definition, particular.

Yet it has a universal aspect.

It is catching.

It flourishes in the absence of a universal idea, such as human rights or civilized conduct.

The rise of nationalism and ethnic conflicts indicate the lack of international law and order.

In that sense, it is universal.

Nationalists are kindred souls.

Milosevic and Tudjman understand each other; they can make music together.
