1/10 If you look what the “nation” part of “nation-state” actually means then the idea that any nation state inherently or automatically should have a right to exist becomes more than a little questionable under a lot of circumstances.
Cambridge Dictionary has two definitions:
2/10 a) a country, especially when thought of as a large group of people living in one area with their own government, language, traditions,
b) a large group of people of the same race who share the same language, traditions, and history, but who might not all live in one area
3/10 Nation-states have some strong tendencies towards being exclusionary and all too often people by definition who are outside the ethnic, cultural, linguistic or racial majority become marginalised within nation-states themselves.
