I would advise you to read Taiko's excellent post - just like him I do not agree with the simplistic assumption of the "decline of the nation state" on which a good part of MvC theory is grounded. While there is change, the state is still by far the most dominating form and actor of the will and interests it's people. Not that this adds or takes away from the work CvC.
