Question:
1. Examine the interaction between the nation-state and international
organizations.Which has the greatest impact on government?
International Organizations are filled with countries and nation states and the nation
states are even the ones who form the international organization. That being said,
the international organization cannot run without the nation state and sometimes,
they join international organizations for their own good. International organizations
can take legal actions to governments but they cannot force them to do so.
However, nation states who have veto power could force the governments.
Therefore, nation states have the greatest impact on government.
2. Are civil society and other organizations truly separated from the
government's actions and policies? In what ways can the state maintain
its sovereignty amid globalization?
Civil society and other organizations are somehow separated from government’s
actions and policies as most governments are into maximizing capitalization that
somehow neglects core values that the civil society and other organizations
promote. However, there are still times that they are still connected and it is indeed
best for them to be connected because civil society and other organizations need
the government’s actions and policies to rule and protect the people below them.
They must help each other.
To maintain the state’s sovereignty amid globalization, they could make campaigns,
empowerment, mass movements, or other public actions to make citizens aware of
the importance of civil rights and other values. They could also make laws that are
associated with various foreign industries.
Yes, civil society and INGOs strengthen the role of the governments in international
relations because they could strengthen organizational structures and processes to
reach a common goal. Once they help one another, they strengthen international
relations. Since lots of INGOs and civil societies affiliates with international
organizations to work on a common goal.
