The system presents a very mixed picture, with nation states big and small, large and small populations, strong and weak, rich and poor, post‐industrial and traditionalist, insular and continental, integrated and isolated, and so on. Today, most nation states are democratic, although democracy in the contemporary world has different faces. Despite the mixed picture, views about the demise of the nation state are greatly exaggerated; it is still claiming a key role. However, there is a paradox: there are more nation states than before, but they enjoy less sovereignty. The problems and prospects of these entities is analyzed in recognition of the differences between industrialized and developing countries, and states undergoing systemic transition. HERE’S A SIMPLE GUIDE FOR YOU IN GOING ABOUT THE MODULE.  Read and follow carefully the instructions.  Be patient in doing the activities.

This lesson clarifies the characteristics of the two concepts that make them similar, as well as those that show their differences. The concept of globalization is relatively new. Globalization is an event and issue that affects all fields of study, from the social sciences, natural sciences, to humanities. This lesson provides the definitions or globalization, as well as gives perspective on how globalization affects political processes in our country. Activity 2 In the space below, list down ten instances that show the concepts of NATION, STATE and GLOBALIZATION. __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Deepen Nation and state are two different but interlinked concepts. Different in the sense that nation is a more cultural and identity-based term, while state mainly refers to a political entity bounded by a territory and headed by a government. Both nation and state share the fact that they refer to a single group of people despite the difference on how these groups are organized, with one stressing a more cultural organization and the other a more political one. However, these concepts complement each other and their combined assumptions of the cultural and political make up for a stronger organization. WE CRAFT YOUR FUTURE THE PAULINIAN WAY! Page 4 of 8 Thus, is the creation of the concept nation-state, which generally refers to a political unit with a defined territory, government, and constituents that more or less share the same culture and identity. In a nation-state, the political organization and the government are supported by a cultural base of imagined unity and identity as presented by Benedict Anderson in his most influential work on nationalism, Imagined Communities. During the late 19th century and 20th century, the creation of nation-states was experienced in Southeast Asia, following the decolonization process that started with the loss of Spanish control over the Philippines in 1898. Decolonization was hastened by different political and economic turmoil in both Europe and Asia in the 20th century, such as the First and Second World Wars. These political upheavals ultimately led to the reconfiguration of power from the Europeans to the two superpowers, the Union Soviet Socialists Republic (USSR) and the United States of America (USA), and the consequent loss of more European colonies in Southeast Asia such as Singapore from the British, and Vietnam from the French. However, with the advent of globalization, the defined physical and cultural boundaries of nation-states are now being threatened by a new type of order that some scholars claim to have taken its roots on various historical processes such as the colonization during the 16th century. Globalization is a process of interaction and integration of every landscape in the planet (Levin Institute 2015). To borrow Arjun Appadurai's terms (Appadurai 1996), these landscapes include the technoscape (technology), financescape (economics), ethnoscape (culture and social life), and ideoscapes (ideas). Globalization is a process that is slowly changing things into one complex scheme that transcends cultural, political, and social boundaries—a system devoid of spatial restraints that ultimately challenges the very existence of nation-states.

Give three ways by which globalization takes place. 3. Give three positive results of globalization. 4. Give three negative results of globalization. 5. Give three things that could balance the impact of globalization on nation-state. WE CRAFT YOUR FUTURE THE PAULINIAN WAY! Page 6 of 8 Transfer Activity 4 1. Part of the definition of nation-states is that the constituents more or less share a common culture and identity. In the Philippines, which is composed of more than 100 different cultural groups, what do you think is that common Filipino identity and culture that binds us? __________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.
