The Nation-State After Globalism

Abstract
This paper, the text of a keynote talk given at the AESA 2000 Annual Conference in Vancouver, argues that we have an opportunity and responsibility to explore with students ways of strengthening the civil, democratic basis of the nation-state, given how post-coldwar globalism has reduced, however slightly, the nation’s critical economic and ideological role, while drawing classrooms into a greater global community in which traditional nationalist notions of who-belongs-where are only greater sources of inequity and miseducation. After the talk, Bernardo Gallegos, who was in invited to give a response, raised a series of helpful challenges to this effort to hold the nation to its democratic promise and to my manner of setting the nation into question, especially after I had written so earnestly in Learning to Divide the World: Education at Empires End (1998a) about the depth of European imperial intent contained, for example, in aboriginal exhibitions and in the West’s particular use of nationhood within its moral economy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
