Study Notes
The Global Interstate System: Concepts and Principles
- Globalization refers to processes that encompass the entire world, influencing interactions and relations among states.
- An interstate system comprises a dynamic framework where states interact, negotiate, and compete for power.
- States within this system lack a single dominant power, leading to continuous shifts in alliances and balance of power.
- The challenge of power imbalances often results in changing alliances and geopolitical tensions.
A. State-Government Concept
- Four fundamental elements define a state, including both physical and political bases.
Physical Bases
- People: A permanent population is essential, as citizens embody the state and participate in governance.
- Territory: States occupy specific geographical areas, delineating their jurisdiction and control.
Political Bases
- Government: A political structure is fundamental for ruling and organizing the state effectively.
Branches of Government
- Legislative: Responsible for creating laws; includes entities such as the Senate and House of Representatives (e.g., Philippines Congress).
- Executive: Comprises the President and Vice President, who are elected by the populace and serve a six-year term, along with their advisory Cabinet.
- Judicial: Encompasses the Supreme Court and other federal courts, ensuring laws are interpreted and justice is administered.
- Sovereignty: Each state maintains sovereignty, allowing it to govern its internal and external affairs independently, with its own authority.
The Global Interstate System
- Encompasses a network of competing and unequal states unable to fully dominate one another.
- Characterized by dynamic interactions, including shifting alliances and conflicts.
- Changes in state power lead to realignments in global power structures.
