can nationalist movements come about against neo-liberalism? and what are these attitudes of neo-liberal policies and state, that drive these resistance? there any case study or examples you can helo with?
To me the neoliberal ideology which emphasizes individualist viewpoint (rather than group or social) gives little space for resistance. More we become individualistic more will be the dominance of neoliberalism. This individualist thinking is constructed at the household level where we learn why to speak for others and same thought is being practiced in other household for us. Although we think that in this globalized world, with so many social web cites, apps we are more connected with people but in fact we are in the period of crisis of effective voice hence less resistance for neoliberalism.
Hi. I think one situation that people might point to as an example of the rise of nationalism in opposition to neoliberalism might be Hungary, which has dramatically rejected some aspects of the neoliberal new world order. See, e.g.:
http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/10/31/the-regression-of-viktor-orban-hungary-europe/
However, as other scholars point out, the whole equation is complicated by the fact that such nationalism that rejects one sort of neoliberalism (typically the Western, Anglo-American sort) may simultaneously be embracing a different sort, or other aspects, of neoliberalism--given that neoliberalism is now in effect the only game in town, globally speaking, and every nation and society has to come to some sort of "understanding" with the overall neoliberal order. So, for instance, this scholar, in a paper still unpublished (so don't quote or cite it without contacting the author for permission, as requested in the paper!), refers to Hungary's new political/governmental model as "authoritarian neoliberalism."

That is an interesting insight, and it makes me recall how fascist regimes of the 1930s-40s adopted a modified form of corporate capitalism, perhaps different from the classical model represented by England and America, but still very definitely and recognizably a form of capitalism that international corporations could learn to work with very comfortably (like the example of the American corporations Ford and General Motors both benefiting hugely from their share of contracts related to the buildup and unleashing of Nazi Germany's war machine; in particular, the Opel Blitz was the truck the Wehrmacht relied upon to carry its troops and supplies, and Opel was a division of General Motors).
