elements.

and frequently pass past the boundaries of the nation-sate.

 V. EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION TO GOVERNMENT

not intervene in the affairs of that state unless there are extraordinary reasons to
do so. The decisions and the conflicts, and the resolution of that conflict are done
through institutions of government establish and codified in that particular state,
whether or not through elections.

autonomy:
I. TRADITIONAL CHALLENGES
• External intervention like invasion by other countries could be a
challenge to a sovereign state.
• Globalization will affect government’s ability to continue providing the
social protection at the level of the past decades.
II. CHALLENGES FROM NATIONAL / IDENTITY MOVEMENTS
• It is important to know that a nation has cultural identity that people
attached to, while a state is a definite entity due to its specific
boundaries. However, different people with different identities can live
in different states.

capitalism.
• Shift from the idea of protectionism to neoliberalization.

barriers. It made sure that government did not impose
restrictive regulations on corporate presence.
IV. GLOBAL SOCIAL MOVEMENTS

spontaneous or that emerge through enormous grassroots
organization. Therefore, states have less control over them.
