Description Denationalization is a category of analysis used in the discourse of new political economy to reveal that decisive processes of recent global transformations in reality arise inside the nation-state. These processes routinely continue to be experienced and represented in the language of nationalism, for this reason they carry on beyond recognition. In other words, the concept of denationalization goes against the assumptions of methodological nationalism, nevertheless it emerges out of a claim that categories of the current critique of methodological nationalism (globalization, transnationalism, post-nationalism, critical cosmopolitanism) are inadequate. These categories of critique are declared to be insufficient because they became trapped in a search for a cultural dynamics and social formations that go beyond the container character of the nation-state. Two of the most important, objects of denationalization are considered (borders and citizenship), and a cultural pragmatic reading of the narrative of denationalization is proposed.
