States, Nations, and Globalization

Globalization has influenced nation-states in the following ways: 1) It has weakened the autonomy and sovereignty of nation-states as international organizations and global markets have grown in power and influence. 2) It has increased interdependence between nation-states as global trade, communication, and migration have increased. Nations must now cooperate on issues that transcend borders. 3) It has empowered some non-state actors like multinational corporations that operate globally, diminishing the power of individual nation-states relative to these large companies.
