Nationalism can be considered a form of [[limited government]]. Rather than a global government either controlled by elites or, at least, requiring a massive bureaucracy to successfully operate, nationalists support localized government (also called [[subsidiarity]]), where individuals have the freedom to set policy for their communities.
As nationalists believe that individuals and their communities (whether local or national) should be [[Sovereignty|sovereign]], citizens should have the right to [[self-governance]]. Nationalists believe the two go together and cannot be separated. [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]] echoed these views when he argued that freedom and democracy thrive best in small nation-states and that monarchy and dictatorship thrive best in large nation-states.<ref>''The Social Contract'': Book III, Chapters 3-7.</ref> Thus, nationalists oppose policies such as [[open borders]], mass migration, and forming international organizations, at least with the end goal of [[one-world government]]. They also support policies such as building [[border wall]]s and maintaining border security.

Because of nationalism's support of limited, localized, and self-government, conservatives usually support nationalism or at least lean nationalist. Most non-[[establishment]] conservatives see nationalism's support for maintaining independent nation-states as the best avenue to maintain and promote [[freedom]], such as those provided in the [[United States Constitution|U.S. Constitution]]. Also, as conservatives tend to be patriots and love their countries, they oppose policies that undermine national sovereignty and identity, such as open borders, mass migration, and membership in international organizations such as the [[European Union]].
