Globalization significantly impacts national politics by promoting interconnectedness among countries through trade, technology, and culture. It can enhance economic growth and cultural exchange but also lead to challenges like loss of jobs and national identity. As a result, governments may face pressure to adopt policies favorable to global markets, which can create tension with domestic priorities. Additionally, globalization has contributed to the rise of populist movements that often react against perceived threats from globalization, challenging traditional political parties and altering the political landscape.
