What will happen to the nation-states in globalization? I think the answer can be found in the term “globalization” itself. The nation-states of the world will be one. All will unite as one nation-state. Hence the root word “global”. I do not mean one in the sense that each nation’s uniqueness will be lost. I mean it as a way of unity amongst all nations. Everyone will accept that they will have to agree to disagree at certain times about certain things. But in the end, the world’s welfare must be acted upon with care by every country that chooses to decide.
People feel patronage and loyalty towards their homelands. Immigrants from different parts of the world still have a soft side for the countries they left behind no matter how long they have departed from it already. I think this certain feeling maintains what we all call nation-states. Each nation has its own government, a set of officials and codes of rules to be followed by the society it leads. This all contributes to their individuality. An individuality that globalization should not destroy despite the unity we aim for the countries of the world.
