I Can' t understand this sentence
people are less mobile than money, goods, or ideas, in a sense they remain "nationalized," dependent on passports, visas, residence and labour qualifications.
Is the underlined clause elucidating "nationalized"?
why is there a comma after "nationalized"?
FYI, the following is the full sentense.
While the state's exclusive control of territory has been reduced by international markets and new communication media, it still retains one central role that ensures a large measure of territorial control --the regulation of populations; people are less mobile than money, goods, or ideas, in a sense they remain "nationalized," dependent on passports, visas, residence and labour qualifications.
