Title: | New Critical Writings in Political Sociology - Volume Three: Globalization and Contemporary Challenges to the Nation-State | Contributor(s): | Smith, Anna Marie (author); Scott, Alan (author) ; Nash, Kate (author) | Publication Date: | 2009 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/7607 | Abstract: | In the third and final volume of this series, we examine the implications of the accelerating globalization process for the nation-state. Are globalization, the rise of regional and international institutions, and the international agreements on human rights actually reducing and transforming state sovereignty? Clearly ethnic, racial, and religious identities remain salient, but how do they correspond to, intersect with, and overflow continuous nation-state spaces that are demarcated by legally recognized borders? In what conditions do democratic state-building projects actually enhance political, civil, and social rights, and when do they tend to contribute to the consolidation of elite power? Should democratic forces put their faith in a cosmopolitan vision of global citizenship, especially when they tackle quintessentially international and transnational problems like peace, aboriginal rights, and the protection of the environment? In this volume's collection of contemporary political sociologists' key articles, we present work that explores the exposure of the nation-state and the post-World War II world system to global forces. | Publication Type: | Book | Publisher: | Ashgate Publishing | Place of Publication: | Aldershot, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9780754627562 075462756X |
