Nation State, Political Identities and the Transformations of Globalization

摘要

This paper explores and reflects the constitution of political identities and their relationship with the imaginary of power in democratic communities embedded in processes that have been called or known as dense globalization in the academic world. In this context, some of the major mutations suffered by the national state and the regionalisms that characterize today’s global world, as well as the way in which political globalization affects the complexity with which political identities constructed, are examined. Finally, it is committed to the endeavour of the consolidation of democratic politics, understood as the form of government that has reached a larger consensus as a political regime, in a context of marked multiculturalism where the way in which communities of conscience and identity are built becomes crucial.
