First sentence: Nationalism has four primary effects on governments' foreign economic policies: it endows economic policy with fundamental social purpose, related to protecting and cultivating the nation; it engenders the economic sacrifice necessary to achieve societal goals; it lengthens the time horizons of a national community; and, most significantly, it specifies a direction for policy, away from the group that a nation conceives of as "other" and, often, toward another cultural space.
