In this article I will trace the roots of the nation-state and how globalization influences it. Using examples such as those of the European Union and the United Nations, I will then explain the differences between past nation-states and current sovereign states. By discussing the global economy, as well as the role the nation-state has in creating businesses for the global economy, I will demonstrate that globalization fails to eradicate the nation-state only because its ideals are too capitalist. I will then examine how the nation-state still plays a vital role in a world moving rapidly towards a market with one nation and one set of rules. With the idea of ​​a sovereign state fast becoming an ideal of the past, globalization has already left the market. his mark on the world. The main goal of globalization is to unite the globe under a single culture and a single government, which undermines the ideology of the nation-state, which has “citizens [who are] members of a nation living within the borders of a defined territory". (Fulcher p. 1) Furthermore, globalization develops international relations, removing or transcending the boundaries of a nation-state, through economic marketing, increased labor, and information transfer. Since the movement for globalization and the development of nation-states both begin around the 15th century, it is evident where the rivalry comes from, as well as who is the victor in the struggle. This creates greater financial competition between a globalized country and a nation-state, as having an open global economy brings the sovereign state into a sense of “capitalist accumulation and competition” (Bresser-Pereira p. 559). Although the nation-state is not on the same plane as the globalization process... at the heart of the paper... a nation's culture is the foundation of a nation-state, and also the only reason why nation-states they will continue to exist for centuries, regardless of whether globalization follows suit.
