Globalization affects national sovereignty by increasing interdependence among states while challenging traditional concepts of autonomy. As nations engage in global trade, adopt international standards, and respond to transnational problems, their policymaking becomes influenced by external factors. This can lead to a perceived dilution of national authority as governments navigate pressures from global markets and international organizations. While globalization can enhance cooperation and provide economic opportunities, it can also incite debates over the balance between national interests and global responsibilities, prompting discussions on sovereignty redefinition in contemporary governance contexts.
