The Impact of Globalization on State Sovereignty in International Relations

Project Abstract

Globalization has become a defining feature of the modern world, creating a complex web of interconnectedness that transcends national borders and reshapes various aspects of society. One critical area affected by globalization is state sovereignty in international relations. This research investigates the impact of globalization on state sovereignty, exploring how the forces of globalization challenge traditional notions of state authority and autonomy. By examining the evolving dynamics of global governance, economic interdependence, technological advancements, and cultural exchanges, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of the changing landscape of state sovereignty in the context of globalization.
