Since the creation, of the nation state, each nation has entrusted its life and peace to elected governments.
When a government initiates a war, the lives and fortunes of the nation are sacrificed on the pretext that it is beneficial to the nation. Since the end of the Second World War, and out of this regretful situation, the benefits of the nation state have been realized, guaranteeing the economic and social development of the nation.
In the 1980s, as globalization gained momentum, nation states could no longer guarantee economic prosperity and social stability. Numerous difficulties began to emerge, including higher unemployment, an increase in non-regular employment, the decline of local industries, and increasing numbers of immigrants and refugees. Governments were no longer able to solve these problems alone.
European nation states sought to conquer these difficulties by creating a supranational union of European countries. However, this did not lead to revolutionary achievements, leading to an increase in frustration and distrust of the supranational organization by the individual states. As a result, certain states now prefer to enjoy their profits and deal with their security issues at the nation state level, once again.
This paper focuses on the political phenomenon of “re-nationalization.”
