Evidence of Collapse

Here is an example of one of the ways in which the nation-state is collapsing. Note that this is taking place in Honduras, a country where the state isn’t managing to fulfill its part of the bargain and provide for the welfare of its people. 

Now, a nation-state can break down on both ends, that of the state and that of the citizens. Honduras is breaking down on the side of the weak state that is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the people. We will also see evidence of citizens becoming increasingly irrelevant to all-powerful states, though. It is crucial to keep in mind that these are parts of the same process.
