The State of the ‘State’ in the Globalization Era
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The state has come to dominate the political life for a long time. In International Relations the state has a central role to play. It is widely considered the central player or actor or agent in the conduct of international affairs. We can say all theories revolve around it. A bounded territorial entity with the sovereign power over the affairs of the people and the sole representative of them is the dominant conceptualization of state. However, the later part of the Twentieth century has brought yet another pervasive aspect to international life. Globalization is today an undeniable reality of international life, more so after the Soviet disintegration. Globalization is broadly understood as multi-dimensional enhanced exchanges across and beyond borders. So the central question today is how has this process of globalization affected the very essence of the state? Has the ‘state’ been able to cope with it and adapt or has it been overborne by the same. We argue in this paper that the state has coped with different international developments, with its essence intact. In this era of globalization too, the essence and meaning of the state is not only intact, but with little altercations, as legitimate and necessary as ever.
