Abstract

The article shows that the dominance of liberal values in the Western world was a natural result of the development of capitalism and the resulting socio-cultural and ideological transformations. In particular, the development of capitalism causes a gradual extinction of existential pressure and leads to a change in life priorities – the need for security gives way to freedom, subordination to power – autonomy, discipline – the development of creative potential. Recognition of the right of each individual to determine and develop their  own identity in the context of globalization leads to a sharp influx of immigrants in economic development and liberal countries, thus forming an axiological conflict within society, which causes an outbreak of nationalism as an ideology to protect their own interests, historically formed group and its inherent values. Meanwhile, modern nationalism is a counteraction to the destruction of the established axiological system, which is manifested only in that part of the population which has an individual psychological tendency to authoritarianism. Using alternative channels of a group of people united by common values, defending their own interests undermine the internal stability of states, finding the enemy in the middle of society.
