Opposed to nationalism or the interests of a particular nation; favoring international or cosmopolitan principles.
From anti- (against) + national (relating to a nation, from Latin nationalis derived from natio meaning 'birth' or 'nation'). This political term emerged prominently in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The European Union was explicitly antinational in design—tying nations' economies and governance so tightly together that they couldn't wage war, betting that transnational identity would override national pride.
