I. Background The School's of Realism has been argued as the most persistence paradigm that consistency believe state-centrism world order. It continuously posits state as the most important actor in International Relations. All states are exclusively believed to have authority, control, and sovereignty within their own territory. All also believed as a rational actor pursuing power within anarchical world structure. These theoretical postulates and its consequence on how state behave one into another in the real world, has deep long roots in The Westphalian Treaty which had occurred in almost half millennia ago. Westphalia is a region in the north-west of Germany, it was in this region- the cities of Mnster and Osnabrck- that in 1648 the Peace of Westphalia was signed. This peace, formally ending the religious feuds that had led to the 30 year and 80-year wars. By the treaty, the universal ideas giving cohesion to the medieval world-a cohesion no less important because it contradicted great diversity-gave way to separate states and nations, each capable of defining its own goals and cultural mission. The loyalty on God & Church as a universal politico-military entity has ended up, and eventually replaced by the loyalty towards specific territory and nationality. The idea of sovereignty took root, though not immediately, and provided the ideological justification for ultimate control within a specific territory at the same time that it provided a basis for (co)recognition from other states (principle of reciprocity) . Sovereigns made treaties with other sovereigns, forged policies to rule inside a territory, attempted to exclude other authorities from interfering in "domestic politics," developed stronger controls over their own borders, and actively participated in the construction of citizenship and nationalism. The whole principle of nation-state system eventually forms its perfection during the two world war followed by the decolonization era up to the cold war era.

Yet the acceleration of globalization has severely tested the Westphalian System. Globalisation itself may be broadly defined as the migration of human activities from the narrow confines of the nation-state to the much larger theatre of Planet Earth itself. The Revolutionary invention of technological information and transportation have significantly fasten the process of stretching ( any states' and/or non-states' activities, events, and decisions in one region will affect others), thickening (either state or non-state actors have involved in various global and transnational institutions) , speeding-up (: shrinking the world into single village), and deepening (a significant blurring of the local-global or domestic-foreign divide). Those phenomena eventually create two important aspects that have never been developed before. The first, global community started to reveal 'and repudiate several problems that prior to globalization were sealed assumed as state's domestic internal business that could not be interference by others such as minority problems; ethnic conflicts; environmental managements; etc. Secondly, globalization triggers the emergence of several unprecedented global phenomena that surely have challenged state's dominant role in international relations. To mention a few of many, George Soros and Osama bin Ladin- by what they have done in East Asia and the US consecutively have become individual actors that could shock down the world's state established structure. Multinational Corporations have evolved to become a new giant creature of economic that has a fluid mobility of capital and a structural ability to operate not only their distribution but also their production across border. For them state border and the logic of territoriality become meaningless. Discussing the persistence of the Westphalian Settlement in globalization era, particularly on how state cope with several contemporary global problems, is indisputable important, considering the world politics we live in still based on nation-state system whereas some contemporary global phenomena continuously have challenged on the privilege of nation-state traditional role. Due to that raison d'etre Departement of International Relations Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta University proudly present International Conference entitled The End of Westphalian Settlement?: Contemporary Global Challenges Toward the Nation-State System.
