Postnationalism
Postnationalism or non-nationalism is the process or trend by which nation states and national identities lose their importance relative to cross-nation & self-organized or supranational and global entities as well as local entities. Although postnationalism is non strictly considered the antonym of nationalism, the two terms and their associated assumptions are antithetic as postnationalism is an internationalistic process. There are several factors that contribute to aspects of postnationalism, including economic, political, and cultural elements. Increasing globalization of economic factors such(a) as the expansion of international trade with raw materials, manufactured goods, and services, and the importance of business corporations and internationalization of financial markets construct shifted emphasis from national economies to global ones.
At the same time, socio-political power is partially transferred from national authorities to supernational entities, such(a) as multinational corporations, the United Nations, the European Union, the North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA, and NATO. In addition, media and entertainment industries are becoming increasingly global and facilitate the cut of trends and opinions on a supranational scale. Migration of individuals or groups between countries contributes to the array of postnational identities and beliefs, even though attachment to citizenship and national identities often continues important.
