certain territory.
NATION
The concept of nation emphasizes the organic ties
that hold groups of people together and inspire a
sense of loyalty and belonging.
NATION-STATE

from civic society to legitimately execute peace.
Thus, the civic society is the basis of the people

The 194 member states of UN prove that

and functions of nation-states as governing
bodies in ther particular territories.

World Trade Organization

It is the sole IGO that caters to rules of trade on a global scale.
Its objective is to ensure that trade runs as smoothly,
predictably, and freely as possible.
It also encouragestrade by lowering trade barriers that may
hinder how product and services flow from nation to nation.
Examples of IGOs are the International Criminal Court (ICC),
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and Organization
of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Internationalism
It is basically anchored on the opinion that nationalism
should outrun because links that bind people of different
countries are more powerful than those that disconnect
them (Anora, 2014).
In order to avert wars, Imannuel Kant (1795) stated that
agreements among nations must be reached.
He conceptualized then the of idea of liberal
internationalism.

It contradicts the liberal internationalism.
It is based on the view that capitalism is a global
system and that working class must unite as a
global class to forward the struggle against
capitalism.
Second International

It was an organization of labor and social parties.
It is best known for declaring International Worker's
Day (May 1) and International Women's day (March 8)
and for initiating the campaign for the eight hour
work day.
Globalism
emerged as an attitude that seeks to understand all
the interconnections of the modern world and to
highlight patterns that underlie them.
It pursues to describe and explain a world that is
characterized by a netwtok of connections that span
multi-continental distances.
