Globalization and Nation State
There is no doubt that globalization has had an impact on the nation state. However, it
has been exaggerated that the state has been weakened and the national control over the
economy has been undermined due to the effects of globalization. There are three
different perspectives that respond to globalization; hyper-globalists, skeptics and

inequalities in a society.
