What is an interstate system?

Chase-Dunn defines an interstate system as a


"system of unequally powerful and competing
states in which no single state is capable of
imposing control on all others. These states are in
interaction with one another in a set of shifting
alliance and wars and changes in relative power of
states upsets any temporary set of alliances,
leading to a restructuring of the balance of power"
(Chase-Dunn, 1981:20).
Thus, an interstate system is the form of
governance for a globalization (Chase-Dunn, 1981).

arrangement of governance that addresses
regional or globalized issues that go beyond
the scope of a nation-state (Chase-Dunn,
1981)

EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION ON
GOVERNMENTS

As the world becomes more interconnected


through politics, trade, and communications, the role
of nation-states and government are also shifting.
Thus, national and local policies are not only based on
local context but also international and global realities.
One example of a global treaty is the Montreal
Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
Montreal protocol on substances that
deplete the ozone layer
• aims to phase out the production of
numerous substances responsible for
ozone depletion, signed in August 26,
1987, with 46 country signatories (US
EPA, 2017).
• definitive evidence of the Montreal
Protocol's success was discussed by
NASA and projected that ozone levels
will return to 1980 levels by 2032
(Watts, 2018).
• This is an example of how
international agreements and efforts
could fight borderless challenges and
issues specifically by domesticating
international norms.
IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON
GOVERNMENT
IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Dilemma for Local Government
A local government would like to attract major global
investors in their community by setting up for instance their
manufacturing firm in the area. This could create jobs for the
local people and generate income for local businesses.
However, it entails converting tracks of agricultural
land into an industrial zone. Farmers will be displaced, and
agricultural production of the area will be affected.
The global corporation is also demanding lower taxes
and lower income wage to finalize their investment in the
area. They argue that they will create more jobs and more
income from the local community and government.
