dc.description.abstractThe nation-state system is a pillar of contemporary societies. Its importance for global and national stability has led us to perceive this system as natural. However, what are the justifications of this system? Is the perceived naturalness of this system due to its ability to achieve its objectives, or because it has not been sufficiently challenged? This thesis examines the quality of the nation-state in Western countries by considering its performance relative to its objectives. I first use the work of Yael Tamir (1993) and Will Kymlicka (1995, 2001) as grounds for the liberal justification of the nation-state system. Next, I examine decolonial and feminist perspectives to provide alternative point of views on this system. From these descriptions, I confront the theories of liberal thinkers with the alternative positions of decolonial and feminist authors. At the dawn of this analysis, I elaborate a proposition for the following issue: What should we do with the nation-state? In other words, given the discrimination and exclusion stemming from the nation-state system, what should Western countries do? Preserve, modify, or abandon it?
