At first sight the concept of a European Nationalism seems to be meaningless.Nationalism,after all ,is tied to the nation,and although Europe consists of nation-states,the European Uninon is presented to have antinational constructuon,,sometimes even as supranational.The European Economic Commmunity was created in order to supress the oppressive and warlike nationalism that had caused two internecine wars in less than a century.
Nation-states cannot make full use of their powers as long as economics and politics,including the politics of European elections,continues to be perceived within an essentially narrow framework-despite the operation of the conomy at a world wide level.,it is also difficult for the nation-state to adapt itself to new modes of governance,it brings a question concerning citizen participation.Actually,the state has not always existed,and it possibly is not the only from of political expression than can legitimate control over all political,economic,and social regulatory functions,so nowadays states are definately affected by globalisation process,so maybe there is no need to defence them,that`s predicament of European nationalism today
