The social sciences have long been based upon contrasts drawn between the 'militaristic' societies of the past, and the 'capitalist' or 'industrial' societies of the present. But how valid are such contrasts, given that the current era is one stamped by the impact of war and by the intensive development of sophisticated weaponry? In setting out to address this and similar questions, this book investigates issues that have been substantially neglected by those working in sociology and social theory. Anthony Giddens offers a sociological analysis of the nature of the modern nation-state and it.
The article explains the impact of globalization on state sovereignty. The globalization is the dominant force which has shaped a new era of interaction and interdependence among nations. It has many dimensions such as economic, political, military, social and cultural dimension. It creates both opportunities and costs to the nation state. Sovereignty is the most essential element of the state. Globalization contributes to the change and reduction of the scope of state sovereignty. The scope of the inner sovereignty has legally narrowed to a large degree due to the international agreements including global financial flows, activities of International Organization and Multinational Corporation, Information communication technology and issues concerning human rights and in connection with already formed models and traditions of states' behavior. At the same time increasingly more states quite often give away some of their sovereign powers voluntarily for certain reason.

Even in new theories of nation, which claim that nations were invented in modern times by the intellectuals, we still find some foundations for making the difference between "real" & "artificial" nations. This binarism usually introduces the "People" nations of the modernist first-comers, & "Volk" nations of all the others, as in "The Federalist Papers" introduction of representative democracy, & in Herder's "Ideas on the Philosophy of the History of Mankind." In both cases, national art is treated as an artificial constructive pillar of the nation & nation state. Comparing the case of Slovenia (the nation-founding story of "Martin Krpan" by Fran Levstik from 1858) with the cases of Greece as "the Dream Nation" & of new African nations, the author concludes that nations are not fictitious inventions of the intellectuals but necessary products of history, & that in their production art had an important position due to its aesthetic function. This function makes it possible to bridge & to universalize on a territory without any certain grounds & limits, across the gap of any modernist binarism. 21 References.

The Nation-State in Question, T.V. Paul, G. John Ilkenberry and John
A. Hall, eds., Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2003, pp. x, 384The matter of globalization and state retreat has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. A phase of globalist europhoria or
alarm, depending on the writer's political tendency, was followed by a series of works debunking the idea as 'globalony' and assuring us that the nation-state was alive and well. This book belongs to
a third wave of writing that seriously tries to understand and measure the changes that states are experiencing, without committing itself in advance to sensationalist conclusions. The chapters come in four sections, on national identities, state security, state autonomy and state capacity.
They are generally empirically grounded, historically informed and balanced in their conclusions. Some are broad comparative reviews and others are case studies, but all of them deploy theoretical arguments capable of wider application and testing.
Does globalization mean the end of the nation state? Or are nation states able to respond to processes of global change? This impressively comprehensive book examines the connections and conflicts that exist between global and national processes, institutions and cultures.Debating and explaining controversial and contested understandings of globalization, the second edition has new content on: hot and timely topics, from human rights and migration to new technologies and environmental sustainability connections between globalization and global events, including the rise of
