A nation-state can then be defined
as a political community that
emanates from civic society to
legitimately execute peace. Thus,
the civic society is the basis of the
people's oneness.
• The 194 member states of UN prove that globalization
has affected the dynamics of nation-states in the context
of their agency as legitimate holders of force in their
jurisdiction. Globalization has, in a way, reshaped the role
and functions of nations state as governing bodies in their
particular territories.
Effect of globalization on
nation state?
First, globalization is seen to impose a forced choice upon nation states.
Either they conform to the neo liberal ideas and free market principles of
deregulation, privatization, and free trade or run the risk of being left
behind in terms of development.

The second effect of globalization on nation states is the establishment of


economic and political integrations. One good example is the European
Union (EU) and the North America free trade Agreement (NAFTA).

The third effect of globalization is the establishment of international laws


and principles. this is observable in the establishment of the UN that
operates as a forum for nation states to air their differences and try to

The fourth effect of globalization is the rise of transnational activism
(TNA). Such happens when activist groups of nation states connect with
their counterparts in other states.

The fifth and last effect of globalization is the creation of a new


communication network. Globalization binds communities through
digital media. With new technologies in communication, political
interaction can happen in a virtual sphere.
nternationalism vs Globalism
Internationalization refers to the increasing importance of
international trade, international relations, treaties, alliances, and
many more. International, means between or among nations. The
basic unit remains the nation, even as relations among nations
become increasingly necessary and important.

On the other hand, globalism emerged as an attitude that seeks to


understand all the interconnections of the modern world and to
highlight patterns that underlie them. It pursues to describe and
explain a world that is characterized by a network of connections
that span multi-continental distances.
In order to facilitate connections among nation-states,
intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) were
established. Their aim is to foster strong economic,
political, cultural, educational, and technical
intergovernmental relationships.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN),
European Union (EU), and
World Trade Organization (WTO) are examples.
Established in 1967, The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) now
has 10 member states.

Its aims
1. To accelerate economic growth, social progress, and cultural development in the
region.
2. To promote regional progression;
3. Advance peace and sustainability
4. Promote active and beneficial cooperation and mutual assistance on matters of
common interest in the economic, technical, cultural, administrative, and scientific
fields
5. Provide assistance to each other in the framework of training and research
installations in the educational, professional, technical, and administrative spheres
6. Work hand in hand for more effective and greater use of agriculture and industries
7. Advance Southeast Asian research
8. Preserve close and beneficial collaboration with current international and regional
institutions with similar aims and purposes (asean.org). Indonesia, Malaysia,
The European Union (EU), an IGO with 28-state members, was established in
November 1993. Its goals are
1. To promote peace, its values, and the well-being of its citizens,
2. Offer freedom, security, and justice without internal borders
3. Uphold sustainable development based on balanced economic growth and price
stability
4. Combat social exclusion and discrimination
5. Promote scientific and technological progress
6. Enhance economic, social, and territorial cohesion and solidarity among member
countries
7. Respect cultural and linguistic diversity; and 8) establish an economic and monetary
union (europa.eu).

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has 164 member-states. It is the sole IGO that
caters to rules of trade on a global scale. Its objective is to ensure that trade runs as
smoothly, predictably, and freely as possible. It also encourages trade by lowering
trade barriers that may hinder how products and services flow from nation to nation.
Overall, the global interstate system is a facet of
contemporary political globalization that seeks to
form collaboration among nation-states through the
establishment of intergovernmental organizations.
It is rooted on the idea of internationalism. Experts
on interstate relations cannot discount the
numerous effects of neoliberalism on the rise of
new communication networks utilized by
governments.
