Contemporary Globalization and Polity Transformation
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The term ‘polity’ refers to a social configuration, of which state is but a part. The contemporary wave of globalization led by information and communica-tion technologies is forcing a transformation in the nation-state based polity. The states as a collective entity are not immune from the profound impacts of information technologies that have transformed the world inhabitants into a single community through intensified connectivity, facilitating the instant exchange and dissemination of information across the world. The present research aims at revealing various dynamics of the transformation of polity, predicting the consequences with concrete and open manifestations of the changing ‘polity’ in the real world settings. Relying on interpretivist approach, the article highlights the dynamics and consequences of the transformation of polity grounded in existing research. It also presents a theoretical model to comprehend this transformation and the emergence of global polity.
