Aspects regarding the Concept of State and Globalization in the Current Context of International Relations

Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov. Series VII: Social Sciences • Law

The state is that form of organization specific to human society even today, although several thousand years have passed since it was set up in the Ancient Orient. Over time the concept of state has evolved, perhaps even sometimes didn't evolve, on the contrary, it has certainly undergone complex adaptations generated by the challenges that have arisen over different historical periods, as well as by historical, political, social, economic, cultural phenomena, etc. Nowadays, globalization is a phenomenon or even a complex process generated by a multitude of causes, shared, more or less, by human society, but whose existence and effects can neither be ignored nor denied. In this briefly presented context, are witnessing the encounter of two different concepts, perhaps even antagonistic, concepts, namely the state, and globalization. These two concepts and more had to find a way to live together. We ask ourselves, however, whether this coexistence between the state and globalizati...

THE UNDERSTANDING OF GLOBALISM.docx

A cursory glance at the concept of globalism shows that only a few have written on this subject. There are many people still confuse between globalism and globalization. Some of them don’t know anything about the word of ‘globalism’. Some of them considered globalism and globalization are the same concept and some of them are not. Whatever their thinking about this subject, it gives more challenges to the world generally and the Muslim world specifically. Thus, this article tries to discuss its concept, history and principles from the views of several Muslim and Western Scholars like Osman Bakar, Taha Jabir al-‘Alwani, Amer al-Roubaei, Joseph Nye, N.W. Hutchings, Ulrich Beck and so on in order to make it clearly. Globalism at present seems a system to make all human life styles more modern than past eras whereby many things were never witnessed before. The meaning of globalism according to the Western scholars focuses more on the compression of space generally through the advancement of technologies in order to make everyone live under one roof. In this sense, there are many terms that are used to display globalism like ‘Global Integration’, ‘Global Interdependence’ and ‘Global Village’ that describe the various process under which the nations and peoples of the world are coming together as a collective economic, political and social unit.

Globalistics and Globalization Studies: Global Transformations and Global Future. Yearbook

2018

The present volume is the fifth in the series of yearbooks with the title Globalistics andGlobalization Studies. The subtitle of the present volume is Global Transformations and GlobalFuture. We become more and more accustomed to think globally and to see global processes. Andour future can all means be global. However, is this statement justified? Indeed, in recent years,many have begun to claim that globalization has stalled, that we are rather dealing with theprocess of anti-globalization. Will not we find ourselves at some point again in an edificespanning across the globe, but divided into national apartments, separated by walls of high tariffsand mutual suspicion? Of course, some setbacks are always possible, because the process ofglobalization cannot develop smoothly. It is a process which is itself emerging fromcontradictions and is shaped by a new contradiction. They often go much further than underlyingsystemic changes allow. They break forward, as the vanguard of a victor...

Globalization and Transformations in the World Politics: Global Politics, Global Governance, Geopolitics, and International Politics., 2024

This article is a focus on Globalization of the economy, which has become, over the past four decades, a new field of study in world politics. Its impact on the world order draws all eyes to the political system put in place since the end of the Second World War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, marking the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States on the international arena. It encompasses all human activities related to production, economy, trade, finance and even migration. Globalization is the fruit of liberal democracy promoted by the Western civilization, which proclaims individualism, that means, people are born equal and free, which freedom is more important than justice and authority, and then, since people are capable of reasoning, this leads them to self-actualization and prosperity. The right to freedom and self-determination of peoples becomes the cornerstone of the neoliberal ideology that promotes the principles of economic liberalization, that is, the rights of states and peoples to productivity, commercialization and privatization of the economy. The principles that allowed the re-foundation of the State, born with the Treaty of Westphalia, putting an end to private or religious wars, and enshrining the principles of territoriality, sovereignty and self-determination, have admitted that States can no longer continue to remain hidden behind their borders. The globalization of the economy has come to erase the borders fixed between peoples and countries, promoting a new economic order due to three scientific revolutions that began in the 19th century: the industrialization of the world, the technological revolution and the revolution of communication and information, which at the same time allow the new revolution of consumption. Globalization and De-globalization, Global Governance, Interdependence, Internationalization, Liberal world order, Transformalism, and so on, are among some key terms of this study.

From nation-state to global society

This paper discusses the strong criticism by Elias against the nation-state paradigm in sociology. Elias pointed his attention on sociologists of the twentieth century but particularly criticizes the analytical model of Parsons (AGIL), which seems to him an abstract combinatory of variables (pattern variables) without any references in social contexts. The sociology in the twentieth century is an apologetic of nation-state and, in Parsons, of the hegemonic role of the United States in the world. In fact, during the twentieth century many authors (historians and sociologists) tried to overcome the nation-state paradigm in the social sciences. The author of the paper analyses the contribution of Toynbee, Braudel, C. Schmitt, Huntington, Wallerstein and HardÁNegri. These attempts are based on different unit analysis: the civilization and its clash in the case of Toynbee and Huntington, the world economy in the case of Braudel and Wallerstein, and power in the case of C. Schmitt and NegriÁHardt. The author appreciates these attempts but his conclusion is that the concept of global society can better serve as unit analysis for a construction of a new paradigm in the social sciences.
