The nation-state’s regulatory monopoly eroded with supranational and subnational powers

Evidence

Political, social, economic, and cultural conditions which characterized the context in which modern citizenship developed have largely been altered in the last decades. The nation-state has lost the monopoly of economic and political regulation with the emergence of supranational and subnational regional powers. In many societies democracy is being challenged by extreme right-wing parties which had been totally discredited after World War II but which now find new fertile ground in poverty and social exclusion. With the collapse of most communist regimes, capitalism has no other enemy than itself. It has become increasingly global with the explosion of new technologies of information and communication. The class structure in the postindustrial capitalist era is also different than in the industrial era. The processes of inclusion and exclusion have taken new shapes. Furthermore, new groups organize and mobilize to claim rights, recognition, or special treatment (ethnocultural minorities, sexual minorities, etc.). — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 826
