Poli Sci 100 In Class NotesA State- a nation.
Territory- we need a piece of land.
Population- we need st least 1 person there
Sovereignty-
internal sovereignty- which means the population recognizes the state as legitimate.
External- is when the state is recognized and respected by other states
Poland 1635- the state itself was gone, and it came back in 1807. Napoleon found an ally in the
Polish territory, and thanks to him, Poland was backs on the map and recognized as it’s own
place.
A failed state- a state that cannot defend its population, represent its population,
A fragile state index- to come up with a measure to determine how fragile a state is, and
whether it is in danger of becoming a failed state. They used social factors, like the level of
refugees, poverty... are indictors of a failed state
Limits of sovereignty-
1: no they don’t
2: sometimes an external state may have to interfere and violate the sovereignty of a state for
some reason
3:
How is a state different from a government?
This represents a state, at a given time.
States emerge because rules want to stay in power.
Nation-state: it is usually based on common language, history, ethnic background ect
Nationalism- can create a feeling pf “us” and “coming together”. Is more of a thin ideology,
something that you want to achieve
Ethnic- is based on ethnicity. Things that stress a common ancestry
Civic- is a broader view, that shares political values, more inclusive concept. Rules that are not
based on skin colour, and ancestry. Usually civic is seen as a better version of nationalism.
Citizenship- who belongs to a state and who doesn’t. The idea that permanent residents are full
members of the community.
Jus soli- if you were born on the territory
Jus sanguinis- you inherently it from your blood 3
