The nation-state and international capital flows in historical perspective
Article Abstract:
The threat to the autonomy of nation-states that is posed by current increases in global economic activity is not new, but it does highlight the political challenges inherent in monetary policy. International capital flows do make predictable economic policies more difficult, and voters may become less certain of their government's ability to deliver economic services. If changes in the international economy do require new monetary solutions, nation-states may need to continue exploring supranational solutions, such as the European Monetary System.

The modern state and its adversaries
Article Abstract:
The debate about the external sovereignty of any state is diminished by some international force, which is significant for the modern state generally, irrespective of the question of power relations between states that are central to the experience of modern states since their origin is presented. While the modern state is at risk, its adversary is a modern state, addicted in taste to its own will and judgment in the face of competing wills and judgments.

The modern state, political choice and an open international economy
Article Abstract:
The proliferation of a globalized economy is not expected to increase political instability, less from any beneficial effects but more from a potential rise in authoritarianism. As nations attempt to compete on a national level, internal economic divisions can prompt citizens to rebel, increasing the likelihood of repressive controls.
