The National State and Global Politics

Summary/Abstract: The withdrawal of the nation-state produces the risk of anarchy. The institutions of the nation-states are weakened by the erosion of sovereignty which means difficulty in imposing the rule of law on the internal level with impact on the international order. The influence of the whole on its components is not possible because the whole is not yet sufficiently welded; there is no procedural criterion to validate the global decisions and therefore there is the risk for the components to influence components. Deglobalization would mean the globalization of anarchy which functions in the best case according to the rule of escape goat, “the culprit” and which has the historical role of a negative solidarity.
