Synopsis: This dissertation critically examines the intricate and multifaceted relationship between globalization and the sovereignty of nation-states, highlighting how the accelerating interconnectedness of the world has transformed the traditional functions, authority, and autonomy of the state. Rooted in the Westphalian conception of sovereignty as absolute and indivisible, the nation-state has historically been the cornerstone of international relations and governance. However, globalization-manifested through economic integration, cultural exchanges, technological advancements, and political interdependence-has significantly altered these dynamics.
The study offers a comprehensive exploration of sovereignty's evolution, from its origins in the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) to its current hybridized forms influenced by supranational governance structures and global challenges. The thesis adopts an interdisciplinary methodology, integrating theoretical frameworks from international relations, political economy, and sociology with historical and empirical analyses. By investigating the dimensions of globalization-economic, political, cultural, and technological-the research identifies key areas where globalization either undermines or redefines state sovereignty.
This dissertation addresses critical issues, such as the role of multinational corporations, global financial institutions, and international organizations in shaping policy decisions traditionally reserved for nation-states. Furthermore, it delves into the security implications of globalization, including transnational terrorism, migration, and cybersecurity threats, which necessitate multilateral responses and challenge state-centric security paradigms. Through detailed case studies, including the European Union, the Belt and Road Initiative, and regional agreements like NAFTA, the research elucidates how different regions experience and adapt to globalization's pressures.
Ultimately, the thesis argues that sovereignty in the globalized era is neither obsolete nor wholly eroded but reconfigured into more nuanced and layered forms. This paradox of globalization-where states confront both erosion and enhancement of authority-underscores the need for adaptive governance models. The dissertation concludes with actionable policy recommendations for states and international institutions, advocating a balanced approach that preserves the core principles of sovereignty while embracing the benefits of globalization.
