Nation states

definition

a sovereign state of which most of the citizens or subjects are united also by factors which define a nation, such as language or common descent

social power

economic, political and ideological, oldest form of power is violence, power can create control to have a more homogenised state

political institutions, power and authority are an instrumentality to get people to comply

power essentially allows for the creation of a nation state

nationalism and nation state

nationalist vs patriotic, nation state is an idea that can help achieve nationalism, nation states have strong interconnectedness, problems make people turn to nationalism, how is nationalism and populism linked?, political entrepreneurs have combined grievances into a narrative about getting rid of immigrants, minorities and treating their true nations people well

globalisation 

seems to go against nation states as it prevents them from having control over their people, limits power of national government 

slower rather then hyper globalisation is prob more beneficial 

trillema

we cannot have hyperglobalizatin, democracy and self determination all at once, a shift to global governance would reduce national severity, national gov would not disappear but their power is limited

hyperglobalziaiton clashes with democracy because it seeks not to improve the functioning of democracy but commercial and financial interest, less focus on their people

there is always going to be a payoff somewhere

EU is a good example of how this kind of works but it is more economic then political power
