Geopolitics vs. National sovereignty ( the forces changing My Nation)
Academically, the study of geopolitics involves the analysis of geography, history and social science with reference to spatial politics and patterns at various scales.
I, as many others have been lost in the true definition of Nation
al
Sovereignty.Thinking that it was the relationship between the
individuals of a particular Nation, and that of it's doctrine. That
sovereignty belongs to and derives from the nation, an abstract entity
normally linked to a physical territory and its past, present, and
future citizens. Americas sovereignty is steeped in tradition and Judeo-
Christian values.
The relationship between the concepts of national sovereignty and citizenship is mutual, and less volatile,then one influenced by international Geopolitical forces.
Citizens—who are not necessarily the entire populace of a territory—possess rights and have a relationship of equality to one another under the common law of that Nation.
They are not mere subjects or vassals whose rights are delegated by a higher authority, nor are they passive objects of a political entity. In classical political theory, national sovereignty translates into a representative constitutional system. Because a nation cannot be governed by direct democracy, given the impossibility of direct representation of its past and future citizens. The simple majority of the residents of the territory of a nation, or even of its citizens, is not necessarily considered identical to the will of the nation.It is in this model that I find the problems. We are currently evolving , and to some in the wrong direction . The direct conflict for the United States is that we have invited, no , encouraged through foreign markets and a world economy outside forces acting on our Model of sovereignty and National Identity.
When we elect our representatives they not only need our moral compass but also an understanding of these dynamics facing us today.
Please feel free to correct my premise or argue another theory.
