The state is a specific form of government, distinguished from others by its impersonal character and the recognition on the part of the office holders that they represent the will of the people. This form of government is an implication of nationalism. Thus, every state is a nation-state. Since nationalism is the cultural framework of modernity in all its expressions, every state is also a modern state. The future of the nation-state depends on the future of nationalism. The recent globalization of nationalism into the formidable civilizations of South-East Asia has opened a new era for the latter. Therefore, the future of the nation-state at present looks brighter than ever.
