In this article, I will trace the roots of the nation-state and how globalization affects it. Using examples such as the European Union and the United Nations, I will then explain the differences between nation states of the past and sovereign states today. By discussing the global economy, as well as the role the nation state plays in creating businesses for the global economy, I will prove that globalization fails to eradicate the nation state only because ideals are too capitalist. I will then examine how the nation state still plays a vital role in a world that is rapidly moving toward a single market with one nation and one set of rules. With the idea of ​​a sovereign state quickly becoming an ideal of the past, globalization has already disappeared. his mark on the world. The primary goal of globalization is to unify the world under a single culture and government, which undermines the ideology of the nation-state, which has "citizens [who are] members of a nation living in within the borders of a defined territory. (Fulcher p. 1) Additionally, globalization expands international relations, removing or transcending the boundaries of a nation-state, through economic marketing, increased work, and the transfer of information. With the movement of globalization as well as the development of nation states both beginning around the 15th century, it is obvious where the rivalry comes from, as well as who is the victor in the struggle. This creates stronger financial competition between a globalized country and a nation-state, because having an open global economy drives the sovereign state into a sense of “capitalist accumulation and competition” (Bresser-Pereira p. 559). Although the nation state is not on par with the process of globalization...... middle of paper ...... the classical culture of a nation is the foundation of a state -nation, and also the only reason why nation-states will continue to exist for centuries, whether globalization follows suit or not.
