Abstract

Although in the contemporary world of globalization, international organizations and institutions blur boundaries between nations and the existence of state sovereignty is frequently questioned, these concepts can still be regarded as points of departure in international politics. Moreover, in spite of the fact that state, sovereignty and nation are fictional concepts, which were designed to draw up a comprehensible picture of the international arena, they can still be considered the most basic and key notions in international relations theory. However, even though they have not been eroded, they have been loosing their original significance and stability and are being redefined by the overwhelming presence of capitalism. The presence of the offshore phenomenon is constantly reaffirming the force of capital with no regard to boundaries. In this essay the relationships between sovereignty, the nation and the offshore world will be explored and analyzed through looking at how offshore finance forms (erodes, redefines or strengthens) the notion of sovereignty and how it affects or transforms the nation as such.
