GLOBALIZATION AND THE AUTONOMY OF NATION STATES: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF CONTENDING POSITIONS



ABSTRACT
One of the most contentious issue surrounding globalization relates to its underlying institutional arrangement at the core of this debate is the contention that the superintendence of the international organization, including the popular nostrums they propagates, as well as the massive place of transnational corporations violates the sovereignty of nation states and circumscribe their leverage in domestic policy matters. Paradoxically, globalization appears to hold national institutions accountable to their citizens for exogenously induced policy failures and for non-advancement in their well being.
Thus, globalization places the domestic social compact between the state and society under serous threat. The contradiction and uncertainties that are generated in the process may determine the globalization project. This project surveys the main thrusts of this debate and highlight the various perspectives to the issue. This project concludes that the nation state will remain a central part of the institutional architecture of globalization for it to stand a chance of succeeding.
