Globalization and Sovereignty: A Critical Study

ABSTRACT: Globalization has led to a complex and multifaceted relationship between nations, challenging the traditional notion of sovereignty. This study critically examines the impact of globalization on state sovereignty, exploring the tensions and contradictions that arise from the increasing interconnectedness of the world. Through a comprehensive review of literature and case studies, this research investigates how globalization has eroded state control over economic, political, and social domains, while also creating new opportunities for cooperation and collaboration. The study argues that globalization has led to a reconfiguration of sovereignty, with states adapting to new forms of governance and authority. However, this process also raises important questions about the distribution of power, democratic accountability, and the protection of national interests. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between globalization and sovereignty, and to inform policy debates about the future of global governance.
