Claro que \"turn of the century\" no es traducción precisa pero en realidad es la frase hecha y el equivalente funcional, y más poético que \"end\".

Millenium Scenarios


Explanation:
Yes -
I know that "millenium" and "end of century" are not similar...
But, talking about the end of the century, many authors are using the term "Millenium"... (C.F. J.G. Ballard and else...)

This is just a proposal....

Fin De Siecle / Fin-De-Siecle


Explanation:
I'd use a French expression well-understood by English native speakers and quite popular in the publishing industry: Fin De Siecle / Fin-De-Siecle. You'll find it in amazon.com.

Mi versión del título: Between Globalization and the Nation-State (yo usaría el singular entendido en ciencias políticas como la forma moderna del Estado, o si quieres conservar el plural: Between Globalization and National States): Fin-De-Siecle Scenarios

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  R.J.Chadwick (X): Yes, "fin de siecle" is a commonly used expression in English, referring often to the cultural climate towards the end of the 19th century, and not to the turn of the century which I would understand at, just before and just after the turn of the century

agree  Rafa Lombardino: it's also a common expression for the context
