Abstract
As we approach the 21st century, the political scene is witnessing the emergence of an increasing number of independent states and an augmentation in nationalistic tendencies and approaches within the existing states. With the end of the Cold War a number of independent states have been formed on the territories of the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. The new states are being shaped according to the classical state model, complete with elements which determine their independence, such as a national government, armed forces, customs and border crossings, a budget and a national currency. While the modern approach with an increased respect for democracy and human rights appears to hold the individuals before the state, countries which display a contrary attitude are subjected to the strict criticism and resistance of world opinion
