Home > Political science > Political Theory > Globalization > Political Globalization

Refers to the increasing power and influence of global institutions and the erosion of the power of nation-states. This type of globalization is driven by a range of factors, including the growth of international organizations such as the United Nations, the expansion of international law, the rise of global civil society, and the spread of human rights norms. This type of globalization has enabled greater global cooperation on a range of issues, but it has also led to concerns about the loss of national sovereignty and the democratic deficit of global governance.
