Global Inter-State System

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATION AND STATE

• In terms of territory, a state is comprised of four

elements: government, territory, population, and
sovereignty. However, a nation can be defined as a
population who shares a similar culture and ideals.
• In terms of political and social organization, state is a
political term and refers to an area that is organized for
the security of people. On the contrary, a nation tends to
focus less on the people’s physical needs and more on
metaphorical or emotional terms.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATION AND STATE

• A state has police power and individuals who disobey are punished.
On the other hand, a nation doesn't possess strong powers. In
other words, It is a unity rather than a political organization.
INTERNATIONALISM AND GLOBALISM

• Globalism means “networks of connections spanning

multicontinental distances, drawing them close together
economically, socially, culturally and informationally” (Das
2011:18).
• Economic globalism-is a constructive and creative dimension
of globalism and visualizes global economy as an integrated
marketplace.
• On the other hand, internationalism is only in the same line
as Globalization, but to limited field. Though
internationalism is also a process among countries but it is
not as wide as Globalization. Example: WTO VS SAARC
COMPETING CONCEPTIONS OF INTERNATIONALISM

• Internationalism comes in different forms, but the

principle may be divided into two broad categories:
liberal internationalism and socialist internationalism.
1. IMMANUEL KANT-LIBERAL INTERNATIONALISM
• Without a form of world government, he argued the
international system would be chaotic.
• In short, Kant imagined a form of global government.
2. KARL MARX-SOCIALIST INTERNATIONALISM
• He placed a premium on economic equality; he did not divide
the world into countries but into classes.
COMPETING CONCEPTIONS OF
INTERNATIONALISM

• He referred to the capitalist class or bourgeoisie and the

proletariat class.
• In connection to this, there is a power struggle between the
capitalists class or bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
• Marx and his co-author Fried Engels, believed that in a socialist
revolution seeking to overthrow the state and alter the economy,
the proletariat “had no nation.”
• Instead of identifying with other workers, nationalism could make
workers in individual countries identify with the capitalist of their
countries.
THE INSTITUTIONS that GOVERN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

• Of growing significance in the realm of global civil

society is the wide range of organizations dealing
primarily with issues that relate to the environment,
human rights, and economic development.
• International Nongovernmental Organizations (INGOS)
• These are international not-for-profit organizations that perform
public functions but are not established or run by nation-states
• INGOS are often grassroots organizations and therefore
are much more in touch with the needs and interests of
their membership
