The autocratic nation as opposed to the nation empire

[samiaseo222]

China and India and the Muslim world may also develop into such nation- empires. They are seeking a future in which they will be able to supply themselves with their own technology and their own finished goods and where they are able to control their own production, but they are hampered by an imbalance of non-professional workers to professional and a lack of living space.

For Japan and Europe the situation looks bleak, since they traditionally rely on cheap suppliers of raw materials. This is especially the case of Japan, which is heading for collision course with China, a phone number list collision which can only be avoided by successful investment in and economic take-over of, a large part of the land and resources of Australia and/or Black Africa. (The Sino-Japanese confrontation has been prevented or perhaps only delayed by the divisions in the Chinese world between communist and non-communist.)



There is a trend today, at the very time that Europe for example is being encouraged to homogenise, to break away from the centre. The most successful and terrible example of this in recent years was Cambodia, where the "communist" revolution was also a profoundly nationalist reaction to the modern world in its entirety. The demands of small peoples for a homeland has all over the world helped internationalism by further weakening its arch-enemy the nation state, at the same time is a challenge to internationalism by its implicit rejection of political and cultural homogenization. At the same time the nation state seems to many to possess little sovereignty in many cases but to be the client of the super powers.
