This chapter explores the globalization school's predictions for the pursuit of security. First, it examines the various strands of the demise of the state argument, including those of hard globalization proponents, soft globalization proponents, and commercial liberals, as well as two other groups with claims that are compatible with our definition of globalization, democratic peace theory, and constructivist arguments about the spread of globalized political norms. It then culls out of these positions a set of common propositions about the effect globalization is likely to have on the way states pursue security. It identifies macro-level propositions about the level of interstate war, aggregate defense spending, the prominence of transnational terrorism, and the role of multilateral institutions at the international system level. It then identifies state- and region-specific propositions about the national security strategies and architectures of individual states.Less

The conclusion ends the book with an explication of the Federalists’ idea of an American national state.It starts by pointing out that the ratification of the US Constitution did not mean the end of politics, nor the end of the debate about the future course of the American republic, for now the Federalists faced the next step of state building: creating the institutions of government that would realize their ideas about a national state in America. The mainstream interpretation of the Federalist argument presents it as a call for limited government and protection of minority rights, but this study has offered a different interpretation. It sees the Federalist argument as an attempt to convince the American public about the need to build a powerful state and to explain how this state would work – the idea of an American national state that the Federalists developed during the ratification debate was the result of creative thinking in the face of serious challenges. This conclusion is devoted to an explication of both the challenge that the Federalists faced and the concept of the state they developed, but the basic issue may be summed up as follows: what the Federalists had to do, and what they did, in the debate over ratification, was to develop a conceptual framework that made it possible to accommodate the creation of a powerful national government to the strong anti‐statist current in the American political tradition.Less

Starts by discussing the new era of austerity in the contemporary welfare state, the reasons for it, and the political problems that it creates. Describes the project that gave rise to the book as bringing together leading researchers from Europe and North America, who seek to increase knowledge about the politics of the contemporary welfare state. The focus is on four overlapping themes, which are covered in the four main parts of the book: (1) the sources and scope of pressures on national welfare states; (2) the role of economic interests, and of systems for representing those interests, in the politics of reform; (3) the implications of electoral politics and the design of political institutions for welfare state adjustment; and (4) the distinctive policy dynamics of particular areas of social provision. These themes are intimately linked, and the linkages between them are made explicit both within and across the chapters of the book. This introduction outlines the four themes and introduces the contributions of the chapters to follow.Less

Over the past thirty years, sub-State national minorities in a number of developed liberal democracies have both reasserted their cultural distinctiveness and demanded recognition of it in legal and political terms. This phenomenon has been the subject of considerable study by sociologists, political scientists, and political theorists. This book differs by offering a study of the consequences of these rights claims for legal systems. It examines the role played by law, especially constitutional law, in the negotiation of the complex relationships and competing rights claims involving the State, national minorities, and other groups and individuals within the State. This book addresses the constitutional issues, both in theory and in practice, that accompany the existence of national diversity in pluralist democracies. The book contends that the democratic plurinational state, characterized by the presence of more than one national group within the State, is a discrete category of multi-level polity which defies the standard classifications of liberal constitutionalism. Building upon this theoretical basis, this book then focuses upon recent developments towards the institutional accommodation of Catalonia, Quebec, and Scotland. The book examines the legal issues which arise from the challenges posed by national minorities within multinational democracies, to the constitutional and institutional structures of particular States, and also to some of the fundamental precepts of democratic constitutional theory and practice.Less

This book traces the development of Korean immigrant nationalism within the context of the Korean independence movement which sought to liberate Korea from Japanese colonial rule. Regarding Japanese rule as illegitimate, Koreans in and out of the Korean peninsula viewed themselves as stateless peoples who wanted to establish a sovereign state of their own. Given Japanese repression in Korea, independence activities had to be carried out from abroad, creating conditions for the emergence of a diasporic nationalism. The conditions of statelessness and exile necessitated that the independence movement create a sovereign national state outside the territorial boundaries of Korea. Situated at the nexus of geopolitical relations involving Korea, Japan, and the United States, Koreans in America came to play a vital role in the state-building project of Korean diasporic nationalism. The independence movement however failed to create a national state that could act with sovereign authority. As a result, U.S.-based Koreans increasingly came to rely on the United States to act as a sovereign state to pursue the national interests of Koreans throughout the diaspora. This book contends this strategic reliance on U.S. state power reflected the development of an ethnic consciousness among Korean immigrants in America. Zealous transnational commitments to homeland politics prompted Korean immigrants to establish a politico-legal presence within U.S. state structures and institutions to attain independence for Korea. In the process, Korean immigrants emerged as a distinct political interest group whereby ethnicity served as an organizational resource for making nationalist claims in the U.S. political arena.Less

This chapter illustrates that sub-state national societies in states such as Canada, Spain, and the UK are fully engaged with the modern challenges which face any polity in the age of ‘late sovereignty’, where the power of the nation-state is declining but where it still retains considerable resilience. The chapter addresses the way in which contemporary sub-state national demands for better constitutional accommodation require to be located within the context of a global political and legal environment which is itself rapidly changing. It also considers the ways in which sub-state national societies challenge the normative underpinning of constitutional praxis in plurinational states, focusing on the controversy surrounding the question of ‘sovereignty’ in these states.Less

The Calvo Clause was born out of the fear on the part of Latin American States of intervention in their domestic affairs by European States and the United States of America under the guise of diplomatic protection. The Calvo Clause confines the alien to local remedies — just like anyone who was a national of the host State — and excludes the exercise of diplomatic protection by the national State of the alien. This chapter argues that the Calvo Clause does not affect the rights of the national State of the alien. While this result, according to some, is produced by reliance on a legal fiction, the fact of the matter is that this is the manner in which international law regards the situation and the result must be recognized.Less

Chapter 2 discusses the continued resilience of nationalism and national identity and explores how theorists of nationalism from the liberal tradition have constructed an argument to the effect that sub-state national societies constitute a discrete category of policy. The liberal nationalist argument defended in this first part of the book is that their historical and societal particularity, coupled with the dissatisfaction felt by many sub-state national societies with regard to their current institutional arrangements, entitles these societies to distinctive constitutional accommodation within the host states, in particular, by way of recognition, representation, and autonomy. This chapter develops two additional parts of this argument which build upon the notion of sub-state national societies as a particular type of polity. In constructing this argument, the chapter critiques the failure of traditional liberalism to recognize the role played by sub-state national societies in the lives of their members, and its tendency to stereotype sub-state nationalism in a negative way.Less

This chapter addresses how liberal nationalist theorists have constructed an argument to the effect that sub-state national societies constitute a distinct category of group, distinguishable from both the majority of ‘dominant’ national society of the host state, and other ‘minority’ groups within the state. It explores the objective and subjective features of identity which liberal nationalists have identified as characteristic of a national society, and which help to explain the resilience of national identity at sub-state level. The chapter examines how different traditions have emerged in the study of nationalism. In particular, it discusses the dominant ‘modernist’ school of nationalism which has attempted to explain nationalism as an essentially instrumental device.Less

This chapter focuses on the basic interests underlying diplomatic protection. It discusses cases in support of the principle that the right infringed in cases where an alien suffers illegal injury at the hands of a State, is the right of the alien's national State and not the right of the alien himself. Examples are presented where the interests of the national State have been responsible for certain important and well-established rules in the law of diplomatic protection, and where interests of the defendant State must naturally and legitimately be considered, as opposed to the interests of the claimant State. The choices among competing interests and the international community's residual interest in having disputes involving States and aliens settled without escalation are considered.Less

This chapter addresses the substantive constitutional status of Catalonia, Quebec, and Scotland. It focuses on the ways in which, in all three states, informal constitutional practices and processes supplement traditional renditions of the law of the constitution in helping to shape relations between sub-state national societies and their respective host states. It shows how the informal workings of the constitution can foster the constitutional co-existence of different demoi within the state, particularly in situations where political actors at the sub-state level see no prospect of improved constitutional accommodation through formal constitutional amendment.Less

This chapter addresses the processes by which constitutions have recently been amended in plurinational states. It considers the process of constitutional change in terms of two sets of important relationships. The first, which recalls the principles of self-determination, representation, recognition, and reciprocity, is the set of relationships between the sub-state national society and the host state. The second set of important relationships concerns the interaction of government and citizen.Less

This book is a study of the role of regions in the development of modern nations in Latin America. It focuses on the Colombian Caribbean between 1870 and 1950. It examines the achievements and shortcomings of arable agriculture and the significance of the livestock industry, the link between town and countryside, the influence of foreign migrants and foreign capital, the relationship between local and national politics, and the extent to which regionalism represented a challenge to the consolidation of the national state in Colombia. This original study opens up the area to scholarly scrutiny for the first time, and has wider implications for Latin American historiography.Less

More
This book assesses the formation of Croatian national identity in the 1990s. It develops a novel framework, calling into question both primordial and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity, before applying that framework to Croatia. In doing so, the book provides a new way of thinking about how national identity is formed and why it is so important. An explanation is given of how Croatian national identity was formed in the abstract, via a historical narrative that traces centuries of yearning for a national state. The book shows how the government, opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and diaspora groups offered alternative accounts of this narrative in order to legitimise contemporary political programmes based on different versions of national identity. It then looks at how these debates were manifested in social activities as diverse as football, religion, economics and language. This book attempts to make an important contribution to both the way we study nationalism and national identity, and our understanding of post-Yugoslav politics and society.Less
This book assesses the formation of Croatian national identity in the 1990s. It develops a novel framework, calling into question both primordial and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity, before applying that framework to Croatia.

Korean diasporic nationalism in the years between 1905 and 1945 played a foundational role in the emergence of the two separate Koreas after 1945 that both exist to this day. Koreans in the United States were a constitutive part of this historical trajectory. While the processes of diasporic political mobilization under American global power and influence enabled the U.S. component of the Korean diaspora to achieve a certain degree of political agency in and out of the United States, the strategy of calling on the U.S. nation-state as a guarantor of the national goals of Koreans ultimately subordinated Korean national interests to a hegemonic American worldview, which explicitly manifested itself in South Korea’s neocolonial relationship with the United States after 1945. In endorsing the United States as a global power and leader, Korean diasporic nationalism also helped Korean immigrants establish themselves as an American ethnic group with political interests in Korea, but their racialized status left them essentially pleading their cause as stateless supplicants. This political position, determined by racially biased laws, ensured that Korean American ethnicization was one of subordination to U.S. hegemony rather than participation in that hegemony as it directly limited their participation in mainstream American life.Less

Chapter 2 considers whether and how Latvians took up lessons in political liberalism with regard to the most important issue at the foundation of the post-Soviet Latvian state, that is, how to handle the large number of Russians and Russian-speaking Soviet people in the making of a national state. This is one area where most Latvians—those who embraced tolerance and those who did not—converged in a belief that it is they who needed to teach rather than receive lessons. Namely, most considered that European institutions and publics did not understand Soviet history. For most Latvians, it was Soviet socialism rather than European colonialism—or even fascism—that placed moral and political demands upon their present. It is this history that necessitated the implementation of restrictive citizenship and language policies in order to ensure the survival of the Latvian nation and the state.Less

The chapter discusses the second part of the 19th century when nationalism took on a new direction. It turned to the right and defined itself as the enemy of socialism. The doctrine of List responded to the Industrial Revolution by accepting the ideals of the French Revolution. Nationalism had adopted a strong pro-industrialization stand in its overall program for a unified national state. German nationalism changed as it adopted the Prussian state and the noble class. It drew on Marxism as a guide. In other parts of the world where Listian nationalism was practiced, nationalism departed from the classical European model. It was spreading quickly in Europe and Asia. Japan liked List's advocacy of free trade. List also found followers in India. However, it was in Russia that the first nationalization of communism took place. It was there where Marxism found itself in power.Less

This chapter discusses violation of international law and the exercise of diplomatic protection. Diplomatic protection is exercised by the national State, in the case of a violation of international law in respect of the person or property of an alien. International law governs the question whether such a violation of international law has taken place, though it may refer to national law for determining whether a violation of international law has occurred. The injury to person or property when caused by the State is to be characterized as a violation of international law in any case by the application of the international minimum standard applicable to the treatment of aliens. Where the initial wrong is not a violation of international law by the host State, resort or an attempted resort to local remedies must take place, or local remedies must be activated before an international wrong, which is a violation of the host State's international obligations, can occur.Less
