This article reframes the contemporary “crisis” of the nation‐state not as a simple erosion of sovereignty but as a problem of spatial misalignment: adaptive states remain strategically embedded in dense transnational regimes, yet domestic legitimacy falters when unitary national imaginaries confront heterogeneous, multi‐sited social realities. Synthesizing globalization studies, identity transformation literature, and spatial theory, we conceptu…
