Book Discussion | National State: Imagining a World Without Narrow Nation States

H.E. Dr Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi draws on his recently published book National State: Imagining a World Without Narrow Nation States in which he argues that our societies need to institutionalize and instil the concept of the “National State” in a nuanced and unprecedented meaning, and move beyond the conventional idea of the nation-state as manifested in the West. It is the State that believes that pluralism is a source of strength and that coexistence is a source of inspiration to all who live on its soil. It is a State of neither a particular race, sect, cult nor an ethnic group. It is not a State of a given superior human race over others. As the State of Citizenship and rule of law, it is not at all the State of nationalistic and/ or racist people.
