State and Nation Differentiated
State
-The state, concerned mainly
with external human
interaction, is a politically
organized legal entity.
-A fixed territory is one of the
required physical elements of
the State.
-A state is a political entity with
defined borders, its own
government, and the authority
to make and enforce laws
within those borders.
Nation
-The nation is a united unit of
population and has little to do with
the physical actions between
people.
-A nation, on the other hand can
survive even without a fixed
territory.
-Nations may or may not have their
own state or government. They can
exist within a single state or be
spread across multiple states.
 Globalization
Globalization is the interaction and integration among people, companies, and
governments of different States. It is a process driven by international trade
and investment , aided by I formation technology.
Policy and technological advancements of the recent decades have encouraged
the increase of cross-border trade, investment, and migration.
The current trend of globalization has been mainly driven by policies that
have opened economies of different states domestically and internationally.

The advent of globalization has been principally
driven by technology. Advances in information
technology, in particular, have dramatically
transformed economic life.

The concept of globalization , however, is never

short of controversies. Proponents argue that is
allows poor countries and its constituents to cope
economically and raise standards of living.

Globalization, aside from its economic effects, has its cultural
ramifications as well, and this has caused States to become more
politically.
States work together to open borders to allow the more efficient movement
of money and people needed to keep the economic globalization actively
working.
Many people say that globalization helps greatly in communicating
peoples.

Globalization Influence On Nation-states

Globalization of the nation-state challenges the traditional view

of national boundaries, and also challenges governments to
develop global strategies to deal with growing array of
“intermistic” political, economic, and cultural issues (Jun &
Wright, 1996, p. 15).
