Summary/Abstract: The authors investigate the world processes showing the impact of those processes on the nation state and try to define the formation of the state’s governance strategy. The article deals with the following questions: What impact do the world processes have on the development of the nation state? How to define the state as an object of strategic governance and to identify state goals? How to define the state as a subject of strategic governance and to identify the state’s institutional structure? How to validate the logic of the state’s strategy formation?
