Impact of Globalization on Internal Functioning of the States Democratic Decision-making. The Anti-globalisation movement is a term used to describe the political group who oppose the neoliberal version of globalisation, while criticisms of globalisation are some of the reasons used to justify this groups stance.
“Anti globalisation” may also involve the process or actions taken by a state in order to demonstrate its sovereignty and practice democratic decision-making, Anti-globalisation may occur in order to maintain barriers to the international transfer of people, goods and beliefs, particularly free market deregulation, encouraged by organisations such as the IMF or the WTO.
Moreover, as Naomi Klein argues in her book No Logo anti-globalism can denote either a single social movement or an umbrella terin that encompasses a number of separate social movements, the implementation of deregulation and privatisation policies has had its own autonomous effect on the distribution of power inside the state.
Certain parts of the US government (such as the treasury, the Federal Reserve, the office of the trade representative) have become stronger because of globalisation. This in turn feeds the power of the executive branch, especially insofar as the executive seeks to control the public administration.
Further, key actors in the supranational system, such as the IMF and the WTO, will – as noted above-deal only with the executive branch, further removing it from democratic accountability. Many theorists and analysts of globalisation have tended to consider the state as a whole, and either argued that not much has changed for “the” state or that “the” state has become much weaker.
Even the more nuanced versions that emphasise state adaptation tend to offer only a variant of this view. What is missed is that economic globalisation has had its own autonomous effect, separately from questions of national security, in sharpening executive power and in undermining the legislature.
Hence globalisation as having brought about transformations inside the state, which though partial and highly specialised, are foundational – and they are deeper and more consequential than is routinely understood. To get at these changes it is necessary to enter “the” state.
Ethnic Resurgence
There is widespread agreement that globalisation and a resurgence of identity-based movements of political assertion or self-determination will have an enormous impact on prospects for a prosperous and peaceful world in the early 21st century. Almost certainly, the relationship between these two trends is multidimensional and highly complex.
It will not resolve into simple conclusions that globalisation is either more or less likely to stir up conflicts among identity groups newly enchanted with themselves or newly empowered to redress for old wrongs or the satisfy long-cherished territorial or religious objectives. Historical events also prove that cultural resurgence has always been on rise whenever there was tendency of assimilation of culture.
Economic and political historians mention that there were significant religious movements that Church. It was a major force in the Middle Ages superior to kings and emperors. Although it lost its supremacy in later centuries, its importance as a transnational actor continued. Terrorism has moved from the national to transnational level and from plane hijacking to a wider range of terrorist techniques since the 1960s.
The transnational dimension of terrorism is established when there is collusion and cooperation between different terrorist groups and when some countries serve as sanctuaries and training centres for terrorists of various nationalities. While some states orient their policies by supporting terrorist groups, some other states change their foreign policies by taking counter-terrorist measures.
One way or another, all states are influenced by terrorist activities, therefore, no country tends to ignore terrorism. Today, terrorism is globalized like other non-state actors, as was witnessed during the attacks directed toward the heart of the American state and the US-led international system on September II.
