from Part II - A New Vision: Inclusive Governance
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 January 2020
Nation-states are the fundamental building blocks of the modern international order. Order problematics and order systematics also originate from these building blocks. Today, the keystone nation-states are undergoing a severe test. The fragmentation of identities in the cultural dimension, arguments over sovereignty and legitimacy in the political dimension, the problematics of sustainable development in the economic field, and the ecological consequences of climate change, present national orders with serious challenges.
The geopolitical earthquake shook and tested the territorial existence of countries within its seismic zone; the security earthquake, the basis of states’ legitimacy; the global economic earthquake, states’ sustainability in terms of economic resources; and the structural earthquake, their institutional fabric.
The sixth chapter of the book discuses the possibility and conditions of inclusive national governance with its humane/cultural, geopolitical, legitimacy (freedom and security balance) and economic components.
