I've always disliked the concept of nationalism and wouldn't be entirely sad to see it go away... That said, it is a powerful glue that gets people to work together for a common cause (real or imagined).
If we were to replace this concept with anything else, I would prefer it to be a two stage process... on one hand I would like to see people engage more with their local community while having a better grasp of of their impact on the world as a whole... (I suppose this is just another way of saying: Think Globally, Act Locally).
The cynic in my though, sees it more likely that we will divide into factions of different sorts: Corporate Branding, Religions Sects, Hemisphere (i.e. North America, European Union, Asia Pacific, etc.)...
