Abstract

The aim of this theoretical study is to offer hypothetical explanations of the preservation of national state during globalisation and especially during the COVID-19 pandemics. The crucial concepts – state and globalization – and the basic approaches of international relations are discussed. The terminus technicus ‘preservatives’ is used to illustrate how four identified mechanisms ‘preserve’ or maintain the importance of the national state in modern globalized international relations. The author defines the following preeservatives: national identity, globalization itself, diplomacy, and finally, right- and left-wing populism. There is no ambition to find all the possible preservatives of the national state, nor to empirically test the ones presented. These could be tasks for future contributions.
