Globalization and The Nation-State

It is not difficult to predict how each of the main theoretical perspectives would answer the above questions. Globalists argue that globalization has undermined the sovereignty of nation-states due to the growing number of powerful supranational/supraterritorial forces as well as global problems (like the climate change, MNCs, terrorism, international non-governmental organizations, new communication technologies like Internet). Sceptics would argue that nation-state is still important and we still live in an international system rather than a truly global one where nation-state is expected to be diminished.
