In Adam Curtis' newest documentary series, called "Can't Get You Outta My Mind", he looks to the collapse of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union to identify two competing ideologies: the geopolitics of money, and nationalism. The Serbs and the Russian nationalists failed and were pulled into the orbit of the oligarchs into the globalized world of Big Money. In the absence of fascism and communism, it seems countries can only swing on the pendulum between "nationalism" and "globalism".

The documentary in part inspired my comment, it was (as most of his stuff) very worthwhile to watch!
For those curious, here's part 1/6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHFrhIAj0ME The other parts keep getting kicked off YouTube for copyright yadda yadda, but they can be found.
