dominance of Global Hegemony.

governments.
 More internationally institutionalised under UNO,WTO
 A State has sovereign right, but not capable to practice it without
foreign and capitalist influence,
 As a RESULT: Rise of Nationalism, Anti-Globalisation forces
around the world, such as, BREXIT, Donald Trump etc.
