The aim of this article is to bring forward the post-nationalism as this is rarely raised and even disregarded phenomenon in political science. The main focus is going to be put on its genesis, proposed forms and possibility of realization. The examples of post-nationalism are pointed in a history, political thought, and a popular culture in which it occurs surprisingly often as a science or political fiction. It may indicate the existence of a somewhat romantic dream of creators and philosophers which, while impossible to come true nowadays, finds its place in utopian cultural texts, often presented as something positive, the goal to aspire to. There is also an explanation from the neorealist, liberal, constructivist standpoints along with the current state of international politics why post-nationalism can be presently taken as a utopia only. The paper ends with an attempt to explain the phenomenon of post-nationalism in the form of hypothesis of its inevitability in the right situation – when humanity will be forced to face hitherto unheard of challenges.
