Abstract
This paper analyzes the reasons and processes that blur the importance of the nation state in the global era and looks at how the causes behind this disquieting effect are global economic, political and social changes. It describes how the global economy and the rise of international corporations are affecting the disappearance of nation states and discusses the political changes which have led to a shift in control from national leaders to independent entrepreneurs. Finally, this paper recognizes that the world is indeed getting smaller, which may be beneficial to individuals, but questions the impact on the future of nation states.

From the Paper
"The globalization process has had impact on the disappearance of the nation state, which was replaced by the concept "global citizenship". The globalization process is one that has a lot of controversy around it. On one hand it causes products, fortune, human- beings, technology and ideas to cross boundaries in a world process that in the end unifies and cancels internationals frontiers. On the other hand people in different places in the world are still relying on their gender, racial and national belonging and lack of equality continues to exist. Globalization, by definition, refers to a multi- dimensional system of social processes that creates, stretches and thickens reciprocity dependence relationships worldwide, and creates an increasing awareness among people about deepening local and distance relations.

Abstract
This paper embarks on an examination of the development of the modern state. It shows how, once the modern state had developed, it played a crucial role in shaping both the economic and political orders of modernity. Indeed, this work goes further by arguing that the modern state was active in managing, perpetuating, and regulating changes in the economic sphere. Furthermore, it was the central mechanism through which the changes in the political sphere were organised, formalised and exercised. A detailed account of the different ways in which the modern state shaped the political and economic spheres is provided and an attempt is made to explore how the modern state was able to do this. It ends by acknowledging the changing role of the modern state and re-evaluates its importance in a period marked by globalization.
From the Paper
"The ideals of the Enlightenment of the 18th century became inscribed within modernity, these were premised on the notion that the modes of thought and organisation associated with traditional society must be eradicated. Moreover, in the place of traditional society, a new society should be built which is rationally constructed through the application of reason. The Enlightenment marked a final decisive break between traditional society and the modern world and this period was charcterised by a great degree of optimism in the human condition. At the same time however new problems and issues were emerging as a result of the transformations, these can be viewed as being two-fold. Firstly, there was the problem of responding to the changes in the mode of production, and the activities of the bourgeoisie."

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between globalization and security using the state and the individual as units of analysis. It argues that globalization has varying consequences on different actors. The paper challenges the assumption that globalization has a direct impact on state security. It shows that global processes challenge state security in an indirect manner but have direct effects on human security.

Appendix
From the Paper
"Globalization can be seen both as a historical project and as a process that affects social relations of peoples, groups and states.(Bello, 1998) It is conceived as a historical conjuncture of the modernist project (McMichael 1996) that promotes the ideological framework of neoliberalism (Kinvall 2002: 5-6). The principles of free market economics constitute the policy package called the Washington Consensus - trade liberalization, financial deregulation, privatization, and inflation and currency exchange stability policies - which became the cornerstone of structural adjustment policies (SAPs) implemented in many economies. While Latin America and Africa have severely suffered from neoliberal globalization, Asia stands as an exceptional case of successful integration in the global economy (Dittmer 2002). Asia Pacific projected itself to the world as the most dynamic region characterized by growth with equity: rapid and sustained economic growth, equitable distribution of incomes, and dramatic improvements in human welfare (Rigg 2003: Table 1.3: 10; World Bank 1993)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of globalization on state control and regulation. The writer argues that globalization has undermined the state as the mighty guarantor of public welfare and security. The writer further argues that, in the 1990s, the prevailing and even hopeful view was that this was not the case, however, this euphoria did not last long.
From the Paper
"Canada has made changes in its political, economical and social systems in order to compete in the ever-changing global market. Globalization is the basis of a fundamental economy in which the Canadian government assumes its responsibility to be competitive on a 'level playing field'. Economic regulation is demonstrated through the state's implementation of monetary and fiscal policies, welfare, unemployment insurance, and health care. Economic pressures associated with globalization, competitiveness and restructuring have altered the discourse and practice of the state."

Globalization and the Welfare State, 2008.
A review of three academic articles about the impact of globalization on the European welfare state.

Abstract
This paper examines three articles, Mark Weisbrot's , "The Scorecard on Globalization, 1980-2000: Twenty Years of Diminished Progress", an International Monetary Fund article, "Globalization: Threat or Opportunity?" and Robert Estes' , "Trends in Social Development, 1970-1995: Development Prospects For a New Century," in order to determine how globalization has impacted the European welfare state. It then
attempts to determine why the social welfare state developed differently in Great Britain compared to other Western European states and why the different origins of social welfare states produced varied patterns of globalization policy development, and vice versa. In particular, it focuses on the impact of globalization on the fall of the social welfare state in Great Britain, for many economists have linked the growing inequality of income and wealth throughout Western Europe to globalization.
From the Paper
"Economic globalization is expanding and accelerating because capitalist institutions, ideology, and behaviors pervade much of the global economy. This translates into the dominance of capitalist market systems, market values, and market mechanisms. The reality of the world economy, however, is much more complex, and many people are increasingly frustrated by the negative economic aspects of globalization, for macroeconomic theory doesn't seem to affect them much, but a lost job because their company transfers its production facilities overseas because of cheaper labor does
affect them. "

Abstract
The paper raises and answers the following questions. What is the scope of state autonomy in an age of "globalization"? Can states realistically achieve stability, autonomy, development and prosperity? How does the design of the international monetary system and the rules/norms of the international financial system impact the role of the state? What is the relationship between national-state and multi-national corporations?
From the Paper
"Responses to the question of the scope of state autonomy within the context of globalization differ tremendously because the response ultimately reflects the responder's own attitude towards, and definition of, globalization. For some economists, such as Prof. Robert Wade, globalization has severely curtailed state autonomy to the extent which states are virtually incapacitated when confronted with a domestic financial or monetary crisis. In essence, the governance of financial markets has largely transferred from states to those international institutions and actors which, and who, function to order and manage the global financial and monetary systems. Theoretically speaking, that transference is justified by the overall aim of coordinating economic activity among and between states so as to reduce financial crisis and ensure the implementation of an economic agenda which moves towards economic growth and stability. However, as Wade points out, that aim has not been fulfilled as is evidenced in the fact that crises have increased. It is within the framework of financial and monetary systems that are increasing characterized by instability and susceptibility to shock resulting in crisis, that the issue of the scope of state autonomy acquires special significance."

Globalization and the United States, 2004.
This paper discusses that globalization is a good thing, since it has increased international trade; but environmentalists, trade unionists, and anti-poverty demonstrators argue that globalization creates more problems than it solves.

Abstract
This paper explains that opponents to globalization claim the gains made by Western counties due to increased international trade have been at the expense of poorer countries. This paper states that globalization?s export of jobs away from the United States has led to employment insecurity for many Americans, especially manual workers, since companies have been establishing production lines overseas where they can take advantage of low-wage economies. The paper relates that globalization has spawned a sort of ?international Americanism?, which threatens the national identities and cultures of smaller and weaker economies.
From the Paper
"Since the 1970s workers have become more protectionist, and have tended to blame the international economy for the poor labor market for less-skilled workers over the last 30 years. According to these researchers, two-thirds of Americans think that international trade has been a main cause of U.S. living standards, and 30% of Americans believe globalization is the primary cause of slow wage growth. Furthermore, 56% of Americans believe that the increased disparity between rich and poor in America is due to the growth of international trade. Less-educated workers are more likely than highly educated workers to think that globalization has increased inequality in the United States."

Globalization and the Nation State, 2002.
Examines the effect of globalization on everyday life in western capitalist societies.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the end of the nation state as we presently know it. Though there is plenty of evidence to support the notion that nationalism is on the rise in many states (witness the widespread incidence of civil wars in other countries) the paper offers the rebuttal that all states, emerging, new, and old, will be overrun by the process of globalization before long, given its current force. The nation state is simply an outmoded form of political and economic organization that is not capable of dealing with the forces that are prying upon it. Only the end of globalization can restore full life to the nation state.

Abstract
An exploration of the phenomenon of globalization - focusing on the new and constantly evolving set of arrangements and compromises between a state, society and industry. The paper looks at social gateways which have been opened due to globalization and how these present cultural challenges to the populations of both countries exposed. It also deals with the guidelines which governments and states have to follow when opening up trade and cultural borders. The paper focuses on these challenges, but stresses the advantages of globalization.
From the Paper
"Many Developmental States come under intense pressure as a result of the talent, technology, capital, and institutions brought into a regional or small market by large-scale multi-national enterprises from developed nations. Trade between nations that are not at the same level of expertise can introduce an imbalance in the economic field of the less developed nations. Unbalanced trade relations can create a disparity of wealth and recourses between countries and introduce the culture of haves and have-nots between nations. An unbalanced trade relationship can also impose on a nation the burden of lower trade surpluses and stability of the economy in the country. (Cohen and Stephen, 1991.)"

The United States and Globalization, 2008.
This paper discusses America's influence on globalization.

Abstract
The paper describes how the United States has exported its model of economy, society and culture to various parts of the world that has embraced it and sometimes successfully applied it. The paper then discusses how globalization has also generated many aggressive reactions, mainly due to the desire of other nations and their citizens to protect their cultural identity.
From the Paper
"Globalization has been one of the most debated topics of the past decades and there are many scholars that believe that this phenomenon is affecting every aspect of our life. Furthermore, the United States have always been linked to globalization as the country with the most significant influence over the development of globalization. Although globalization has come to refer to social and cultural aspects, its initial spread was related to economy. In terms of creating a global economy, there is no doubt that U.S. has played the decisive part. America seemed for a long period of time to be the only nation that could leave its mark on the world economy and the only nation capable of influencing the creation of a global economy."

The United States and Globalization, 2007.

Abstract
The paper relates that because globalization affects everyone, Clyde Prestowitz' book, "Three Billion New Capitalists: The Great Shift of Wealth and Power to the East", becomes relevant for all modern readers. The paper examines the heart of Prestowitz's focus; the United States and its economic policies. The paper shows how the economic policies guiding emerging economic superpowers like China are more forward-thinking than the outmoded ones that prevail in the United States. The paper discusses Prestowitz's ideas that a revision of American economic philosophy, spending more on education, health care and sound infrastructure, is vital in order to "ride the third wave" of globalization.
From the Paper
"Clyde Prestowitz could have easily titled his 2006 book Three Billion New Capitalists Can't Be Wrong. The author does not judge the ethics of globalization itself, for Prestowitz is a realist who understands that globalization began in the 15th century and has only recently entered what the author calls a "third wave." Three billion new capitalists can't be wrong because the economic policies guiding emerging economic superpowers like China are more forward-thinking than the outmoded ones that prevail in the United States. Part history lesson, part appeal for changes to American foreign and domestic economic policy, Three Billion New Capitalists: The Great Shift of Wealth And Power to the East is a must-read for anyone remotely interested in the implications of globalization. Because globalization is affecting every citizen of the world, Prestowitz' book becomes relevant for all modern readers and could even become required material in public schools."

Abstract
A look at the historical forces of technology, nationalism, and imperialism that influence the global system. This paper discusses the relationship between these forces and discusses the present-day condition of the global system as well.
From the Paper
"The world in which one lives today may be described as a fast-paced one in which one is surrounded by a maze of images that distort reality. This stage has been reached on account of a number of events having various outcomes, and each of these outcomes has been exposed to other influences resulting in further outcomes. This kind of process has endured with the passage of time and grown in complexity. Precisely, the age in which one lives today is one that has reached a stage in complexity referred to as Post Modernism. Aside from this term, there are other words that may be used to describe the stage in itself, and some of these terms consider historical influences to be important too. Specifically, the term ?globalization? is now widely used when discussing the global system that exists today."

From the Paper
"Each of these factors exist in a current international arena that is full of global pluralisms that are expressed in the basic form of a group or groups. These groups can be held together by many differing factors that bind them within and without themselves making for a very complicated and multidimensional framework. On one side, the cementing factors can be broken down to include economic factors, political factors, and military power. These are often termed the "hard facts' of global life. The other side, commonly referred to as the 'soft facts' of global life, contains the cement that consists of ethnicity, language, history, origins, and religion. In an effort to explain these cementing factors one or two of them are often singled out as holding more importance or influence on the how and why these groups exist or change over time."
