The world economy has become so highly interdependent as to make national independence an anachronism, especially in financial markets. The interdependence is driven by science, technology and economics - the forces of modernity.; and these forces, not governments, determined international relations. Thanks to this interdependence, war between modern nations is an impossibility.
Angell

The critical point is that both sides of the coin of global cultural process today are products of the infinitely varied mutual contest of sameness and difference on a stage characterised by radical disjunctures between different sorts of global flows and the uncertain landscapes created in and through these disjunctures.(p. 17)

The emergent global order is locked in a major conflict between the consumerist 'McWorld' on the one hand and the identity politics of the 'Jihad' on the other.

Within the paradigm of the second modernity, however, globalization not only alters the interconnectedness of nation-states and national societies but the internal quality of the social. Whatever constitutes ‘society' and ‘politics' becomes in itself questionable, because the principles of territoriality, collectivity and frontier are becoming questioned. More precisely: the assumed congruence of state and society is broken down and suspended: economic and social ways of acting, working and living no longer take place within the container of the state.

Globalization however the word is understood sovereignty and state structures.
