With the establishment of the paradigm of "human and civil rights vs. State power" in the period of the Enlightenment, the citizen began to be directly connected with the nation state. After that, nation state has penet rated into every aspects of citizen's life in the name of "rights" and "the formal law". In the context of globalization, this paradigm is challenged.For example, the direct link between citizen and the state is severed by the intermediary of social powers, global elites have dissociated themselves from the state power, and the citizen can rely on international powers to oppose his own state. Along with global t ransitions, these trends will break the face-to-face relations between the nation state and the citizen, and create opportunities for modern society to extricate it self from the rat-t rap of "state's colonization of ordinary lives". |
