Apocalypse is in the air
'It may be quite true that globalisation diminishes and occasionally
abolishes borders, by imposing very general economic constraints upon
national aims and expectations. But it is absolutely untrue that the latter
then atrophy, or become less emotively significant. In fact, just because
"politics" is in some ways confined by global circumstances, it may grow
more important � above all, in the vital dimension of collective "meaning",
or identity' ( Tom Nairn via OpenDemocracy )
