Abstract
In the 21st century, refugee problems greatly challenge the classical understanding of nation-states. By appealing to Hannah Arendt’s theory on totalitarianism, this passage introduces and analyzes nation-state problems. It first discusses the significance of nationality, and by answering questions like what is a nation-state and what is a city-state, it attempts to solve the dilemma of a natural state. In conclusion, this passage may help us better comprehend refugee problems and the notion of nationality.
