Regarding cultural influence in relationship to international trade of culture, I would add satellite dishes to your pirated DVDs. The Maghreb region is well known for having zillions of them pointing towards Europe, then systematically accessing TVs from Spain or France - indeed, most blame on this fact a "call effect" that attracts immigrants to Europe because of the way culture, society and the economy are pictured on TV. Concerning nationalism vs. cosmopolitanism I also fully agree. Not only in developing countries, but in developed and highly cosmopolitan ones like in many places of Europe, national identity is by no means exclusive from non-cosmopolitan countries.

" I think you're right about this. There's a 'positive nationalism', if you will. Seeing the rest of the world tends to make you appreciate what you've got, and loving your country does not mean disliking others. In the same way that loving your mother doesn't mean that you can't have good friends! “’ve met a large number of people who are fiercely proud of their homelands and also excited about being citizens of the world. ”
