Summary/Abstract: Although the beginning of globalization announced the near end of the nationstate, its sovereignty and even of the nation as its bearer, it has never happened. More precisely, everything ‘national’ was the focal point and the vessel of the most persistent resistance to globalization. In consequence, globalization as a process was the most successful in the economic domain, much less in the political, and especially security domains. The era of great migrations, which we are witnessing right now, has brought a new, big and consequentially even less foreseeable challenge to globalization as a process, as well as to globalism as an ideology, and the “new world order” as a political and legal construction of the global system. It was actually the nation-states (the small as well as the biggest ones) that challenged global patterns from the shelter of EU and made a strong turn to national interests, the revival of national sovereignty and national values, even though it seemed only until recently that many of those “re-nation-states” were completely submerged into the European Union, as the supranational community and the community of non-national sovereignty. More and more obviously, migrations and various potential dangers they bring along are just a cause for reiterative restoration of the nation-state and its borders, not only on European soil but also in all areas affected by the migration flows
