This paper will discuss the end of the nation state as we presently know it. Though this thesis sounds severe, the effect that economic globalization is having on democracy is, with little doubt, pulling at the delicate weave that holds countries together. Already stressed in this respect, Canada seems to have more to lose than many of her peers. The ongoing strife with Quebec is but one instance of this. In Canada and in the world at large, it is becoming increasingly clear that the nation state is simply an outmoded form of political and economic organization. It is simply incapable of dealing with the forces that are prying upon it. Only the end of globalization can restore full life to the nation state. But, barring a disaster of epic proportions, this seems unlikely to happen. 11 pgs. 21 f/c. 7b.
