"The most tragic paradox of our time is to be found in the failure of nation-states to recognize the imperatives of internationalism"
- Earl Warren
About this Quote
This quote by Earl Warren talks to the current state of global relations. In a time of increasing globalization, nation-states are still failing to acknowledge the significance of internationalism. This is a tragic paradox because the world is ending up being progressively interconnected, yet nation-states are still running in a manner that is not conducive to worldwide cooperation. This failure to acknowledge the value of internationalism has resulted in a lack of development in areas such as environment modification, poverty, and human rights. It has also caused a rise in nationalism and protectionism, which even more hinders worldwide cooperation. The only way to overcome this tragic paradox is for nation-states to acknowledge the value of internationalism and collaborate to attend to worldwide concerns. Only then can we wish to make development in locations such as climate modification, poverty, and human rights.
