Global Interstate System

Global Interstate System

The modern world-system is structured politically as an interstate system – a system of

competing and allying states. Political Scientists commonly call this the international system,
and it is the main focus of the field of International Relations.

EXPLAIN THE EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION ON GOVERNMENT
The biggest effect is a reduction of economic independence. The increasing market size
with the effects of Absolute or Comparative Advantages in manufacturing creates the need to
specialize in narrow product production or service areas to be able to compete successfully. This
requires “OPEN MARKET” policies. On the opposite end of the spectrum, it could just as easily
result in “PROTECTIONIST” policies to restrict domestic access to markets using the tools of
import quotas and/or tariffs on imported goods. The main problem with restricting market access
using such tools is RETALIATION from other countries in implementing similar policies against
that country… the popular press refers to this as a “Trade War.” When this happens, the larger
market has a distinct advantage as its people can better afford slightly higher prices for imported
goods. Global corporations don’t generally like that an excise tax is being applied to their goods
that will impact sales volumes and profits to the their shareholders. If a marketing study shows
sales volumes are significantly affected in revenue losses… Global Corporations simply
establish Wholly Owned Subsidiaries in the countries where their brands are already well-
established, and continue selling them without the the excise taxes being applied. In other cases,
third countries, not involved in such Trade Disputes… called “Terms of Trade,” are used to
funnel goods without being subject to the import tax. Cyprus is often used a gateway to import
Turkish products into the European Union without going through procedures to declare Value
Added Taxes for such goods making them far cheaper on European markets. Spanish Sahara is
often used as a colony to mfr Made In EU products using non-EU citizens in Africa, to get
around import laws for access to EU markets. The large Spanish retail giant that owns the
Bershika, Zara, and Stradavarious brands has clothing made on a large floating platform in the
Mediterranean Sea to get around EU Safety at Work labor laws and import restrictions. Turkey
sold refined Iranian petroleum to Syria during a UN Sec Council embargo for such imports to
ISIL (Da’esh). If there is a will and a market, there is always a method to get around them.
HOW GLOBALIZATION AFFECTS LOCAL GOVERNMENT & POLITICS
Background on Globalization
Everyone loves to talk about how globalization has changed our lives. Coca-Cola sells soda
around the world and the United Nations acts as a world government to try to make the world a
safer place. But how does it affect laws in cities like Lagos, Nigeria and Long Beach, California?
How has globalization affected local governments?
First of all, let's define globalization. Globalization is the way that countries and people around
the world have become more connected and interdependent economically, politically, and
socially. It has made it possible for a person in Lebanon to eat a McDonalds cheeseburger, talk to
a friend in New York City on Skype about fracking, and listen to Korean pop music on Spotify.
But it also means that local governments have to deal with international companies coming to do
business in their towns, and their local citizens are demanding more of a voice and can unite
more easily than ever before using the Internet. Globalization can impact local government from
the top down or from the bottom up. Let's take a look at some examples of how that might look.
How It Looks From Top-Down
As countries have become more interconnected, they have needed to work together more. For
example, countries work together to protect the environment or to fight terrorism. This has led to
the development of world government. After WWII, the United Nations (UN) was formed as a
kind of world government. But the UN can't really govern the world. It needs local governments
to turn their policies into realities on the ground. For example, the UN has asked that local
governments become involved in making sure that human rights are protected. After all, the UN
is just a bunch of ambassadors from different countries that all meet in New York City. They
can't actually control the everyday lives of someone who lives in Jeonju, South Korea. But the
local government in the city of Jeonju can. It can pass laws that protect human rights, and the
police can make sure that people follow these laws.
Now, local government must take international norms and make that a norm where they live,
such as women's rights to an education or protecting the environment. This is
called domesticating international norms, and this could look different in different places. For
instance, the UN supports protecting the environment, so a local government in California could
pass a law that charges a small fee for using plastic grocery bags, while the local government in a
small village in Guatemala might focus on helping people use natural resources more efficiently
for agriculture.
IDENTIFY THE INSTITUTION THAT GOVERNS INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
International relations (IR) or international affairs (IA) — commonly also referred to

as international studies (IS), global studies (GS), or global affairs (GA) — is the study in
interconnectedness of politics, economics and law on a global level. Depending on the academic
institution, it is either a field of political science, an interdisciplinary academic field similar
to global studies, or an entirely independent academic discipline in which students take a variety
of internationally focused courses in social science and humanities disciplines. In all cases, the
field studies relationships between political entities (polities) such as sovereign states, inter-
governmental organizations (IGOs), international non-governmental organizations (INGOs),
other non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations (MNCs), and the
wider world-systems produced by this interaction. International relations is an academic and
a public policy field, and so can be positive and normative, because it analyses and formulates
the foreign policy of a given state.
As political activity, international relations dates from the time of the Greek
historian Thucydides (c. 460–395 BC), and, in the early 20th century, became a discrete
academic field (no. 5901 in the 4-digit UNESCO Nomenclature) within political science. In
practice, international relations and international affairs forms a separate academic program or
field from political science, and the courses taught therein are highly interdisciplinary.[2]
For example, international relations draws from the fields of politics, economics, international
law, communication
studies, history, demography, geography, sociology, anthropology, criminology and psychology.
The scope of international relations encompasses issues such as globalization, diplomatic
relations, state sovereignty, international security, ecological sustainability, nuclear
proliferation, nationalism, economic development, global finance, terrorism, and human rights.
DIFFERENTIATE INTERNATIONALISM AND GLOBALISM

Globalism: universalism. For example, universal declaration of human rights are embedded in
all countries around the world and no country can deny the spirit of it.
Internationalism: connecting people all around the world where no country has sovereignty,
such as Switzerland
