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.[2] 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.
The term was first coined in the 1990s as a way to describe China[3] and later India, but has also been used to describe countries such as Egypt, Russia, Turkey, Iran[4] and the United States.[2][5][6]
The term has been popularized by Bruno Maçães in a series of essays since 2018.[7]
