III - FOR A REBUILDING OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN/DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL BODY

Presentation of the publisher: Joël Gaubert offers us, here, an educated and critical reflection on this political institution that is the nation-state, whose nature, function and value seem, today, to be dissolving into the so-called "more modern" idea of community.
Could a rebuilding of this institution of the democratic power of the peoples avoid the double pitfall, on the one hand, of withdrawal into oneself for the benefit of an isolationist nation-state arched on its principle of sovereignty of the people - thus undermining the project of European construction - and, on the other hand, of an instrumentalized nation-state, or even, quite simply, abolished, in favour of omnipotent supranational institutions implementing a federal project over which the peoples would no longer have any power?
The reflection here opens an original path not only possible but indispensable to our contemporary political societies, harassed by all attempts at identity withdrawal or political destitution from the public sphere to the benefit of private post-national companies reducing politics itself to a mere instrument of a market in the process of final globalization.

Back cover: Has the progressive historical transformation of the ethno-sociological nation into an ethico-political nation-state from the Enlightenment to its contemporary democratic and republican figure fulfilled the beautiful promise of a freer, equal and fraternal life, both intranational and international in terms of establishing universal peace? Shouldn't we acknowledge its historical failure to bring it to trial in a technically ineffective and even ethical illegitimacy in view of the evils that the nation-state has not only failed or been able to prevent, but also those in which it has itself participated, such as colonialism, world wars, totalitarian domination, genocidal extermination and, now, global imperialism and terrorism? Is the nation-state therefore an outdated idea and reality in the current dual context of globalisation and the construction of Europe, in particular?
