Uncertainty about the continued vitality of the nation-state in light of the multiple effects of globalization has led to extensive dialogue on the topic. In particular, aspects of the global economy are often referred to when discussing possible declines in power. Some of the key trends are rising levels of FDI, the increasing amount of production lines crossing borders, the influences of technology and the Internet, and increasingly global labor flows. This has certainly made it difficult for the nation-state to maintain power over its own internal policies. In many cases, the power of the nation-state is subject to ever-increasing constraints. In some, but not all, cases, this leads to a weakening of state power as an economic choice becomes unavailable, such as regulating foreign direct investment over the Internet. There are also cases where the nation state changes without necessarily losing power, such as the turn towards credible trafficking and the importance of non-state actors. There is also a strong possibility that the economic effects of globalization affect different areas to different degrees. Within the developed world, increasing integration can strengthen some nation-states while weakening others. In the case of the Global South, it is possible that, by missing out on many of the economic benefits of globalization, they are simultaneously excluded from its repercussions on state power. On the other hand, the level of power of the nation-state in these countries is distorted. It is difficult to say whether a nation-state in sub-Saharan Africa is losing economic power or simply never had it. This article will focus on the negative implications of state economic power from its limiting qualities... at the heart of the article... it does not seriously endanger the nation-state, and in some cases may force some states to stronger, situation will change rapidly and the nation-state will not be able to adapt quickly enough without sacrificing further power or sovereignty. There are also implications for the ability of nation states to govern in light of globalization and its integration. In the field of sovereignty, there has been and will continue to be an increase in the importance of non-state actors and previously unimportant states. In the case of non-state actors, the weakening of the state is not guaranteed, while the rise of developing countries predicts at least a decrease in the power differential. In essence, the potential for weakening the nation-state is very strong on an economic level and probable on a political level, but much remains to be done to influence this process which opens up both possibilities..
