Globalization and the rapid development of digital technology have brought significant changes to society. Besides providing easier access to information and communication, globalization also presents challenges that may affect national resilience and state defense awareness, including declining nationalism, identity crises among young people, the spread of hoaxes and misinformation, increasing individualism, and the influence of foreign cultures and ideologies. This study aims to analyze the role of national resilience in fostering state defense awareness in the era of globalization, identify globalization-related challenges that affect national resilience and state defense attitudes, and examine efforts to strengthen state defense awareness. This research employs a qualitative method using a library research approach. Data were collected from secondary sources, including scientific journals, books, articles, and relevant academic documents, and analyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques. The findings indicate that national resilience plays an important role in strengthening nationalism, national awareness, and national identity as the foundation of state defense attitudes. Globalization creates various non-military threats that may weaken national unity and resilience if not addressed properly. Efforts to strengthen state defense awareness include character education, civic education, digital literacy enhancement, and active participation of young people in social and national activities. Collaboration among the government, educational institutions, families, and society is essential for strengthening national resilience and maintaining national unity amid globalization.
