With increasing globalization and proliferation of non-state actors, the state is entering a period of decline.

Globalization is defined as the interconnectedness and integration between populations, business organizations, and governments of diverse states around the world. Globalization affects aspects such as the environment, nations, economic and political developments, and societies. (The Levin Institute). Political globalization on a narrower end, defines the increasing inclination towards multilateralism and emergence of non-governmental state actors, which have direct influence over the state. (V.M., Moghadam). A state is as the ruling of a sovereign territory. In my opinion, …show more content…

Essentially, non-state actors have the power to challenge international political systems, in terms of the use of force sovereign states use. Violent non-state actors can lead to the weakening of states, resulting in fragile states that are impotent to maintain loyalty and needs of its population. This results in the population reverting to other states, which leads to international conflict. Due to the political and legal systems being incapable of offering various states with approaches to fight these violent non-state actors without disrupting system globally, states decline. Globalization has increased the capabilities of violent non-state actors by democratizing the motivation of pursuing in war. Violent non-state actors such as AlQaeda, challenge the state’s security and defense. After the occurrence of September 11, the state of the America has been in decline due to the constant threat. (Calame, Pierre). Moreover, another violent non-state actor is ISIS. Using illegal violence as means of reaching destructive goals, ISIS intimidates corporate organizations, corrupts politicians, and engages in actions that weaken the state’s sovereignty. ISIS as a non-state actor forms an enormous threat to various states all over the world, weakening their sovereignty and pushing them to a state of decline. Violent non-state actors form …show more content…

Multinational corporations are global organizations that have facilities and assets in different countries, and a head office where the organizations organize global management. (Root). Multinational corporations gain power at the expense of state sovereignty, considering states without multinational corporations are usually less developed. Thus, states rely on multinational corporations to integrate their individual economies into the global economy for the state’s country to develop. Integration of economies results in goods and services being imported and exported in between different countries, sustaining development. The majority of states want to develop, and development will cause tax revenues to increase allowing various states to expand economically and politically. (Kapfer, Steve). Multinational corporations have a massive effect on the international system, as the state’s economic activity could either grow substantially or decline. Multinational corporations lead to the decline of states where, when these corporations are faced with unfavorable conditions, they could threaten to move the economic production and investments to other states. This forces the host state to construct fortunate investments for the multinational corporations to sustain the state’s prosperity. An example would be the British East India Company, which operated in India under minimal control from the British

Actors and Processes; Comparison between Canada and Colombia Introduction The idea of globalization presumes integration and similar development for the whole world which in reality is a mirage. This is owing to very many differences among the over two hundred countries across the globe. These countries are sharply contrasting in almost all the spheres of life ranging from, their political systems, size of their economies, the demographics, social practices, cultural practices to governance structures.

The author starts the article with the 9/11 attack and, throughout the article, he examines the cause and effect of the attack. The author concludes that the United States is an omnipotent country, as they “dominate the geopolitical scene” (4). After the 9/11 attack, Americans declare a “war on terror” (G.W. Bush), which, as the author suggests, “[is an isolated phenomenon; however, the al-Qaeda organization, the organization that cause the attack, manifest into conflicts that are getting deeper and broader]” (5).

After a terrorist attack of any kind there are always consequences that must be faced. Sometimes the point of the terrorist attacks is because the organization wished to send a message or to influence policy in their favor. However, after the 9/11 attacks administrators realized that the United States was not prepared for a tragedy of this kind and had little to no measures to prevent one, this lead them to create new programs and policies. Terrorist organization’s goal often comes down to one of the following: regime change, territorial change, policy change, social control and status quo maintenance. The main purpose of a terror attack may well be to influence public policy.

Multinational companies can grow through availability of capital, which is much more mobile than labour. Companies can therefore establish subsidiary companies in a country where cheap labour and raw material inputs are located. Companies are able to expand by supplementing nationally endowed assets acquiring, developing and integrating strategically important assets located in other countries, thereby making their nation of origins somewhat less significant. Knowing how to adapt and change can be beneficial too, because there can be growth in certain areas of activities while cutting back on areas proving to be unprofitable. Therefore there is an advantaged for companies to acquire businesses operating overseas markets.

A rising contempt for America makes it easier for terrorists to find new recruits to use against American armies. In fact, Stern says, “The use of drones to target suspected al Qaeda operatives in Yemen has been correlated with a rapid growth in membership in the group’s Yemen-based affiliate” (“Obama And Terrorism”, 3). The use of drones mainly end with a continuous circle of death and

This perspective gives a cut and dry version of statehood, it either is or it isn’t. The rebuttal to this perspective provided by Bremer & Ghosn with the case of the Vatican City and Palestine pokes holes in the standard. Applying this standard to the Vatican and Palestine would result in Vatican City being called a state, but on the other hand Palestine not. This standard is a bit problematic, but perhaps can be adjusted with a change in the minimum criteria requirement. The latter believes there is no definitive way to define a state in fact they believe “GPUs are not static, fixed political objects… but rather dynamic” (Bremer and Ghosn).

Throughout history, a cataclysmic sets of events has left an indelible mark on the history of the United States. From the bloodbathed fields of Gettysburg, PA. in the Civil War to the nuclear bombs dropped over Japan in World War II, violence has persisted in the United States as a means to an end.

“How does 21st century globalization differ from 20th century globalization?” Globalization heavily implies the opening of local and nationalistic perspectives to a broader outlook of an interconnected and interdependent world with free transfer of capital, goods, and services across national frontiers. It also occasionally discusses the less common dimensions of globalization, such as environmental globalization or military globalization . Those dimensions, however, receive much less attention the three described above, as academic literature commonly subdivides globalization into three major areas which are economic globalization, cultural globalization and political globalization.
