Abstract

In the historical process, the transitional stages of tribal societies without state formation \nto modern socities with nation state form refer a historical development. In addition this \nperiod can be identified as a history of change. It is apparent that this change is based on \nthe traditional-modern dichotomy from Anthony Giddens’ sociological perspective. \nThe set of institutions which distinguishes traditional and modern enable the classification \nof both society and state that society constitutes as a political institution. This set of \ninstitutions is related to the organization of time-space and the source of power. The \nnation state which is the political institution of the modern era had complicated and \nmultidimensional transformations since ancient times till it took its current position in \nnation-state system. \nIn Giddens’ theory, relation between globalization which is stated as the expanding of \nmodernity across the world and nation state as a power container indicates a reflexive \ncharacteristic. Globalization which has economical, political and social aspects \ndetermines both the role of nation state in world system and the features of its social, \npolitical and economic relations internationally and nationally. \nIn this study, relation between globalization and nation state in Giddens’ approach is \naddressed as a transformational act. Related designations and suggestions for global \nproblems are submitted in this context.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
