A civilization state, or civilizational state,[1] is a country that aims to represent not just a historical territory, ethnolinguistic group, or body of governance, but a unique civilization in its own right. It is distinguished from the concept of a nation state by describing a country's dominant sociopolitical modes as constituting a category larger than a single nation. When classifying states as civilization states, emphasis is often placed on a country's historical continuity and cultural unity across a large geographic region.
China and India have been described as civilisation states[2][3][4][5] but term has also been used to describe countries also such as Egypt, Russia, Iran.[6] The category of the civilization state has further been criticized as setting up a false binary in service of political ulterior motives of both the proponents and the opponents of these states,[7] and for emphasizing an oppositional relationship with the category of nation states as opposed to recognizing a combination of nation-state and civilization-state characteristics in contemporary states.[8]
