Features: This book is a specialized research achievement that provides a comprehensive and in-depth discussion on the nation-state from a philosophical perspective. Based on the specific socio-practical context of the impact of globalization on the nation-state, the author, starting from the philosophical historical view of Marxism and building upon existing domestic and international research, conducts an in-depth elaboration on the essence, origin, and characteristics of the nation-state. It specifically reveals the changes in sovereignty and functional transformation of the nation-state under the backdrop of globalization, carefully analyzes the identity crisis and behavioral autonomy of the nation-state, and explores new trends in the future of globalization and the nation-state. Through this systematic and comprehensive analysis, the author attempts, on one hand, to elucidate the historical inevitability of the changes and transcendence of the nation-state in the face of contemporary globalization challenges. On the other hand, it emphasizes that such changes and transcendence do not imply the loss of the nation-state's value in the process of globalization, nor do they signify the complete transcendence of the ethnic identity that forms its foundation. Instead, these changes and transcendence constitute an important in the self-development of the nation-state, and the increasingly prominent cultural diversity will ensure the long-term existence of the nation-state at least in the foreseeable future.
