STATES, NATIONS, AND

GLOBALIZATION
Analyze the relationship among nations and states in the context of
Globalization.
NATION

 TAKEN FROM THE LATIN WORD “NASCI” WHICH MEANS “BORN”.

 IT SIGNIFIES ORIGINAL BIRTHPLACE.
 REFERS TO A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE LINKED BY TIES OF BLOOD AND RELATIONSHIP,
A COMMON LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE, A COMMON TRADITION, AND HISTORY.
 REFERS TO A LARGE GROUP OF IDIVIDUALS WHO BELIEVE THAT THEY BELONG
TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY SHARE A COMMON IDENTITY AS A PEOPLE.
 NATIONS ARE BORN OUT OF CONFLUENCE OF TWO FACTORS:
1. THERE IS A NEED FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO HAVE COHESION.
2.INDIVUAL MEMBER ASPIRE TO BELONG TO A HOMOGENOUS COMMUNITY.
CLASSIFICATION OF NATION

1. ETHNIC NATION
ENTITY THAT IS UNITED ON THE BASIS OF ETHNICITY
2. TERRITORIAL NATION
ENTITY THAT COVERS A PREDEFINED TERRITORY.
“A state is a community of persons more or less numerous,
permanently occupying a definite portion of territory,
independent of external control and possessing an
organized government to which the great body of
inhabitants render habitual obedience.”
- Gardner
State
What is State?
 Groups of people which have acquired international recognition as an
independent country and which have a population, a common language and a
defined and distinct territory.
 A state is an organized political community living under a single system of
government.
Four Elements of States
1. Population
 The State is a human institution. Hence population is it’s first and foremost
element.

 No state can be imagined without the people, as there must be some rule and
others to be ruled.

 State is a community of persons. It is a human political institution. Without a

population there can be no State. Population can be more or less but it has to be
there.
“A good citizen makes a
good state”
-Aristotle
2.Territory
People cannot constitute a state, unless they inhabit in a definite territory.
Territory is its “material basis”
The territory of the state comprises:
Land, mountains, rivers and lakes within its frontiers,
Territorial water, extending six miles into the sea from the coast
Air, space, lying above its territory.
Any interference with rights of one state by others may lead to
wars.
This is the rationale of the idea contained in the concept of
Respect for Territorial Integrity and Sovereignty.
Art.1 Sec. 1 1997 Constitution
NATIONAL TERRITORY
The national territory comprises the Philippines archipelago,
with all the islands and waters embraced therein, and all
other territories over sovereignty or jurisdiction, consisting
of its terrestrial, fluvial and aerial domains, including its
territorial sea ,the seabed, the subsoil, the insular shelves
and other submarine areas. The waters around, between
and connecting the island of the archipelago, regardless of
their breath and dimensions form part of the internal waters
of the Philippines.
The Archipelagic Principle of
Territoriality
An Archipelago is defined as a sea or part of a sea
studded with the islands, often synonymous with island
groups, or as a large group of islands in an extensive
body of water, such as sea.( Deleon, 1997)
 In various conference of the United Nations on the Law of the Sea, the
Philippines and other archipelago states proposed that an archipelago composed
of groups of islands forming a state is a single unit ,with the islands and the
waters within the baselines are internal waters
 Internal Waters are the waters Around, Between and connecting the islands of
the archipelago, regardless of their breath and dimension.
Other Territories over the Philippines has
Sovereinty or Jurisdiction

Any territory that presently, belongs or might in the future belong to the
Philippines through any of the accepted any of the accepted international modes
acquiring territory.
TERRITORIAL SEA – The belt of the sea located between the coastal state on the
hand and high seas on the other extending up to 12 nautical miles from the law
water mark.
EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE – body of water extending up to 200 nautical miles,
within which the state may sovereign rights to explore, exploit, conserve and
manage the natural resourses.
The state in the EEZ exercises jurisdiction with
regard to:

 The establishment and use of the artificial islands, installations, and structures;
 Marine scientific research;
 The protection and preservation of marine environment
3. Government
A community of persons does not form a state unless it is
organized by established government.
4. Sovereignty
This is the power of the state to command and enforce obedience of its will from
people.
It means power over people of an area unrestrained by laws originating outside
the area or independence completely devoid of direct external control.
kinds of sovereignty
A. Internal sovereignty
Refers to the power of the state to control within its territory.
B. External sovereignty
Is the power of the state to direct its relations with other states.
The state is not subject to the control dictation, or government of any power.
