POSTNATIONALISM — [Noun] The theory or conception of the world after the existence or dominance of nation-states. From post- ("after") + nationalism ("ideology centered on the nation-state"). Unlike "supranationalism" (which operates above nation-states) or "cosmopolitanism" (which elevates individual allegiance to humanity), postnationalism is the quiet erosion of borders, the slow dissolution of flags into irrelevance, and the silent obsolescence of passports in a world where allegiance is algorithmic. It is the refugee camp that outlasts the country it fled, the algorithm that renders passports obsolete, and the global supply chain that quietly laughs at the idea of sovereignty. A world where the scaffolding of nations collapses, leaving only the weightless drift of people and capital—neither utopia nor dystopia, but simply what comes next.
