Abstract
Globalization has emerged as a significant force shaping international relations, challenging traditional notions of state sovereignty. This thesis examines the impact of globalization on state sovereignty in the context of international relations. The study delves into the complexities and interplay between globalization processes and state sovereignty, seeking to explore how states navigate the changing global landscape. The introduction sets the stage by outlining the background of the study, defining the problem statement, stating the objectives, highlighting the limitations, specifying the scope, emphasizing the significance of the study, and presenting the structure of the thesis. The literature review in Chapter Two critically analyzes ten key scholarly works that provide insights into the relationship between globalization and state sovereignty. Chapter Three focuses on the research methodology, detailing the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, ethical considerations, and limitations of the methodology. The chapter also explores theoretical frameworks and conceptual models used to guide the research process. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the findings, drawing on empirical evidence and theoretical insights to analyze the impact of globalization on state sovereignty. This chapter examines various dimensions of state sovereignty, including political, economic, and cultural aspects, in the context of globalization dynamics. The results of the study shed light on how states respond to global challenges while safeguarding their sovereignty. The conclusion and summary in Chapter Five provide a comprehensive overview of the research findings, implications, and recommendations for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners in the field of international relations. The thesis concludes by reflecting on the evolving nature of state sovereignty in the era of globalization and offering insights into potential future research directions. In summary, this thesis contributes to the ongoing academic discourse on the impact of globalization on state sovereignty in international relations. By analyzing the intricate relationship between these two concepts, the study offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing states in the contemporary globalized world.
