Nation, nation-state and nationalism are artificial concepts produced under conditions that are not natural. In the historical process, the nation and the nation-state emerged in the axis of England and France. 1789 The French Revolution invented both the nation state and the modern institution and ideology of national citizenship. The nation refers to a form of sociality. In this society, people can hold an identitythat is both cultural and political in nature. In the modern state's process of building society, the ideology that aims to hold people together and create a sense of belonging is nationalism. Nationalism is theconstruction of a non-existentnation at theend of certain processes. Nationalism produces ideas, slogans, symbols, and ceremonies that mediate the linking of individuals with mass emotions. But with the pluralism and human rights, the legal system has become universalized. Now, the use of personrights in international institutions has emerged. As a result, nationalism, which is the legitimation and ideology of the nation-state, is faced with a crisis. Globalization brings about two changes in the direction of integration and fragmentation in the role of nation-state. This crisis does not mean that the nation-states have come to an end. However, the idea of a nation-statebased on the concept of a heterogeneous nation is no longer valid. In this study, the modern appearance of the nation concept, nation-state and nationalism ideology have been evaluated in terms of the effects of globalization.
