Study Notes
Sovereignty and Globalization
- The text argues that the idea of national sovereignty experienced a revival in the 1960s and 70s, but is now under pressure from various forces like economic globalization, cultural shifts, and political instability.
- These pressures have made 'the relativization of national sovereignty' a key issue in both domestic and international politics.
- The text explores three main economic drivers of globalization:
- Integrated markets for goods, assets, and labor across borders.
- The emergence of new, easily diffused technologies, particularly in information and telecommunications.
- The rise of global economic institutions, including multinational enterprises, strategic alliances, and private and public regulatory regimes.
- Traditional nation-states, originally focused on survival and internal integration, are increasingly engaging in a complex process of differentiation and "de-differentiation" to navigate the demands of a globalized economy.
- This process involves states acting as both "collective capitalists" maintaining social order and also as quasi-market actors, leading to a more fragmented and contradictory role.
- The text highlights the shift from the welfare state model to a more diverse set of state responses aimed at promoting growth and competitiveness.
- States vary in their capacity to adapt to these changes, as they have different advantages and disadvantages in the global marketplace. This leads to debates concerning the ability of states to control capital flows and influence economic policies.
- The text maintains that the nation-state is not dead but its role has significantly changed.
- Citizens will likely experience a reduction in public services and benefits, as governments shift towards a more "new public management" model that emphasizes private provision and less direct government intervention.
- States are increasingly focused on containing inflation to maintain the confidence of international businesses and financial institutions, limiting their capacity to pursue strategic or developmental policies.
- State actors are becoming increasingly intertwined with "transgovernmental networks," which connect state agencies across borders and involve private actors in policy-making.
- The text concludes by contemplating competing futures for the nation-state in a globalized world, ranging from a complex but stable global order based on liberal capitalism to a more volatile and fragmented world plagued by inequality and conflict.
- It emphasizes that the path forward will be path-dependent, requiring difficult political choices and a deeper understanding of the complex challenges and potential solutions.
- The text argues that the traditional concept of "nation" is being eroded by "Gemeinschaft fatigue" - a decline in traditional community ties - due to the democratic deficit, transnational pressures, and the rise of religious revivalism and new tribalisms.
- Political strategies and projects will increasingly become multilayered and globally oriented, reflecting both right-wing (globalization as liberal economic efficiency) and left-wing (internationalist socialism) perspectives.
- The text suggests that the competition state is becoming a more limited "enterprise association" whose legitimacy is tied to its ability to deliver economic results.
- Despite increased bureaucratic power and intrusive economic monitoring, state apparatuses are becoming less able to address broader social issues.
- Social bonds are being redefined through new structures and processes, including international finance, transnational ethnic groups, global communications, strategic alliances, global investment, transgovernmental networks, transnational pressure groups, and the evolving discourse and practices of state actors themselves.
