What is the impact of

globalization on the nation –

state?
SHORT STORY:

Let me begin by sharing to you two of my friends. My first

friend loves to eat. His favorite food is McDonald’s fried
chicken. And he always craves for that crispy and juicy
fried chicken with lots of gravy. He really likes McDonald’s
that he even looks like Ronald. Then, my other friend is
more into music. She spends a lot of time listening music in
her Iphone X. And her favorite singer is no less than Justin
Bieber or JB. She really loves JB that she would even
scream each time JB appears on T.V.
Now, can you spot something common on
both of them ?
It’s the effects of the process of globalization.

This process has affected the way we

communicate, we think, we eat, we dress and
we live our lives. In short, globalization has
transformed our culture, our Filipino culture.
 Globalization has become one of the most popular
buzzword used by different people worldwide. So what is
globalization? It is the integration of the economic,
political and cultural systems across the globe? Or is the
“McDonaldization” or, perhaps, Americanization of
world culture and United States dominance of world
affairs? Is globalization good or bad?
IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
living standards and life expectancy
of developing countries increase through
economic gains from globalization. ... In
spite of these positive effects of
globalization to the education and health
fields in the developing countries.
 Globalization can help Filipino people to know the international status and rights
of each country nationwide. The Philippines are also been friendly to the foreign
country and they now stay connected in terms of exchange of product and
some investment. Globalization has also a big part in the improvement of local
and social culture in the Philippines. It also connects relationship in other
countries through investments and some business opportunities.
 The impact of globalization in the Philippines changes a lot in terms of the
culture, values, and economy. It also helps the improvement of infrastructure in
the Philippines. It gives more opportunities to all Filipino to work abroad and
help each country to stay connected. Globalization has also helped to let know
the people about global warming, climate change, and the natural resources of
the Philippines.
 The effect of globalization can help a flexible communication and greater
understanding in terms of improvement and development of each country
condition. It also helps the local and international market to create flexible
labor across the miles. Globalization affects the international market and
enhances economic growth.
 A nation is a stable community of people, formed on the
basis of a common language, territory, economic life,
ethnicity or psychological make-up manifested in a
common culture. –
 a large aggregate of people united by common
descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a
particular country or territory.

 State is a nation or territory considered as an organized

political community under one government.
 A state is a compulsory political organization with
a centralized government that maintains a monopoly of
the legitimate use of force within a certain geographical
territory.
Is it true that ……..
….the nation –state , as a
complex modern political
form, is on its last legs (Arjun
Appadurai)
……with economic
interdependence and
global communication,
nation – state is a “nostalgic
fiction” (Kenichi Ohmae)
Globalization is the
interconnectedness and
interdependence established
among countries around the world.
Globalization can be related to
social development, cultural, or
economic.
 Nation – state

Coercive authority over specific territories

(Max Weber)
Independent political communities with
governments(Hedley Bull)
An imagined political community
(Benedict Anderson)
 Nation – state

According to Hans Schattle,

globalization has not
displaced the state.
 Nation – state
 Extends political and economic power beyond its
territory
 Expected to follow international norms/laws/standards
(Universal Principles of Human Rights, Rome Treaty)
 Competes / cooperates with
international institutions (IMF, WB,ADB, UN)
transnational civil society ( Amnesty International,
Green Peace)
Global corporations (Coca-cola, McDonalds, Uniliver,
Nestle)
 The benefits of globalization are unevenly distributed
across states and populations. State policies mattered
greatly.
 Neoliberal economy
 Golden Straightjacket (Thomas Friedman)
 Electronic Herd/ Electronic Governance
 States set the agendas and drive the terms of
cooperation that govern the world’s leading international
organizations (UN, GATT, WTO)
 Globalization places states into direct competition
(economic investments, tourism, political legitimacy)
 Globalization has sparked competing dynamics of
power diffusion and power consolidation (civil society vs
state security)

 CITIZENSHIP GAP (Alison Brysk and Gershon Shafir)

 Globalization of migration, production, regulation and
conflict construct rights without sufficient institutions to
enforce them, identities without membership, and
participation of some at the expense of others.
Globalization is often seen to have lowered the
importance of the state, but in the end, the states that
will remain the most successful in the face of
globalization is those who adapt to the changes their
role makes.

 In the words attributed to Charles Darwin (1809 –

1882), ‘It is not the strongest of the species that
survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one
most responsive to change.’
