Roepke Lecture in Economic Geography—Who Needs the Nation‐State?
探讨民族国家在全球化时代是否仍然必要，认为尽管受到自由经济学家和世界主义伦理学的批评，民族国家依然在治理和个人认同中占据核心地位，金融危机更凸显其重要性。
abstract The nation‐state has long been under attack from liberal economists and cosmopolitan ethicists alike. But it has proved remarkably resilient and remains the principal locus of governance as well as the primary determinant of personal attachments and identity. The global financial crisis has further underscored its centrality. Against the background of the globalization revolution, the tendency is to view the nation‐state as a hindrance to the achievement of desirable economic and social outcomes. Yet it remains indispensable to the achievement of those goals.
