societies were inspired by
the idea of Nationalism
and created awareness
through the communities.
A nation is a territory where all
the people are led by the same
government. The word “nation”
can also refer to a group of
people who share a history,
traditions, culture and, often,
language—even if the group does
not have a country of its own.

STATE, NATION
AND NATIONSTATE
Nation-State
A Nation-State is the idea of a
homogenous nation governed by its
own sovereign state—where each state
contains one nation. This idea is
almost never achieved.
Nation
A nation is a group of people who see
themselves as a cohesive and
coherent unit based on shared
cultural or historical criteria. Nations
are socially constructed units, not
given by nature. Their existence,
definition, and members can change
dramatically
based
on
circumstances. Nations in some ways
can be thought of as “imagined
communities” that are bound
together by notions of unity that can
pivot around religion, ethnic identity,
language, cultural practice and so
forth. The concept

a single nation may “spill over” into

nations: not every nation has a state
(e.g., Kurds; Roma; Palestine). Some
states may contain all or parts of

ORIGINS OF STATE
AND NATIONSTATE
These are the theories on the origin of state as have been formed and
developed as a result of the political thought and philosophy in the
ancient time until the enlightenment period in Europe.
1. Natural Theory
The social urge of the human being to be within a group of people in
the community as in sociology describes that “man is a social being.” The
social group provides the political development to stay and work
together with common standard law in the community later on
transform as a state.
2. Patriarchal Theory
The origin of the state evolves from the enlargement of family under the
authority of the parents or the elders. Later on, it will develop into a
tribe, kingdom then state.
3. Force Theory
The creation of the state through the constant war and invasion of the

great warriors
in the ancient time dominated the weak that later on
formed a state.
4. Divine Right Theory
The rulers of the past advocated the political dominance of authority
and power through their own ordained mandate that they represented
the state as on the basis of the divine right ( as God created the state).It
was in this nature that the divine rights of kings has the absolute power
and influence over the subjects.
5. Social Contract Theory
This is the right of the people to have the deliberate and voluntary
contract on the right to overthrow the kings and rulers against corrupt
governance to organize a new government with common interest for all
the people.
