Abstract

That the nation-state is a leaky vessel these days is hardly news to anyone. Some of its cracks and holes, however, are seen as more threatening than others; thus the sustained efforts to mend, fix, and strengthen particularly alarming fissures have become a persistent political theme of our times.

The art of government has been highly responsive to the challenges of transnationality.

(Aihwa Ong, 1999)
