C/P/18. Dissertation. Is the Globalization end of the Nation State?

Conclusion: The globalisers of our day claim that a new world order is upon us. The nation state is a thing of the past, it is being replaced by networks of all kinds. This paper shows, if anything, that this view is too optimistic. We have shown that neither the multinational corporations nor the transnational financial flows undermine the writerity of the nation state; that the state retains its inherent regulatory capacity. Likewise, the growth in telecommunications technologies, development of cross-border networks have not greatly infringed on the state's powers or where they have - the state has devised effective counter-strategies to deal with these challenges. While some states have been more successful historically at dealing with globalisation, others have been run over. Yet the system of states as a whole is still going strong, it is not falling apart, nor will it fall apart in the foreseeable future.
