Should libertarianism be isolationist, particularist and nation-based, or should it be a global effort? Are inalienable rights only gained upon receiving citizenship of a nation that recognises them - if not, how far could one "legitimately" go in order to secure them worldwide?

Just some stuff to think about...

Militarily, Libertarianism advocates isolationism. Economically, Libertarianism advocates free trade.

Therefore, Libertarianism would not be a global effort, per se. In other words, you wouldn't see a Libertarian nation invading other countries trying to convert them to Libertarian forms of government, such as was seen with the former Soviet Union and the Soviet Bloc.

It does advocate violence in achieving its ends, unlike Communism.

I think libertarianism could be globalist; however, it would need the support of enough people to compose not only the ranks, but also to voluntarily fund the escapade. All in all, it'd be extremely hard and I doubt it would be a globalist movement.

I'm just wondering how to reconcile the inalienable rights with the idea of nations. I believe that the "First do no harm" principle is the correct way for the human race to live, but I also realise that military expansion contradicts everything this stands for.
