PAPER PROPOSAL
Introduction
The present research is going to focus on the topic “Is globalization eroding state
sovereignty?” and develop a project proposal based on annotations from four peer-reviewed
scholarly articles.
Thesis statement
The purpose of this research study will argue on the thesis “Globalization is
influencing in reducing the nation-state sovereignty since global events are changing
dramatically due to globalization”.
Paper aims and significance
The aim of the present paper is to critically analyze and argue over the main thesis
that will discover if national sovereignty is eroded. Globalization is increasingly influencing
every political and cultural element of the developed and developing nation which are
challenging its national sovereignty.
Background of the thesis and topic
With the increase in international capital and trade flows has led to an argument if the
sovereignty of a nation is under direct threat. The economic globalization further aim at
forming human connections by integrating all the processes and creating a single process for
a shared global economy. This process of economic globalization are adversely affecting the
sovereignty and imposed policy constraints as a means of growth.

Argument supporting my thesis
Countries are encouraging the process of reducing the barriers for trade and capital to
enter into their economy and also producing opportunities for global governance institution in
order to influence the economic condition. Nations are moreover confined in their ability to
intrude inside their own unit markets, especially concerning possibly out of line relationship
with private industry. This creates an urgency for monitoring the trade barriers and are
required to see and verify the authorized development benefits of foreign firms. Tien-Hui and
Qian Zhou (pp. 4) argued globalized country address the multicultural education which
challenges the sovereignty of its own nation which is a significant functioning for
safeguarding a common good.
The paper by Lyubashits, Valentin Yakovlevich, Andrey Yurievich Mordovtsev, and
Alexey Yurievich Mamychev (pp. 19) have concluded that political communication at the
international level is evolving in the direction of adaptation based on national integrity, unity
and sovereignty. The argument by Petro (pp. 6) investigates on the relation between
globalization, homeland security and national sovereignty. Zürn, Michael, and Pieter De
Wilde (pp. 12) argued that cultural, economic and political system which were formerly
bounded by national border are constantly getting transformed due to globalization. The
study findings claim that political globalization is challenging nations to hold on national
identity, border and sovereignty.
Conclusion
The main argument of the whole study is based on the thesis if sovereignty is being
reduced or eroded due to the act of globalization. By referring to four peer-reviewed

scholarly articles, several arguments have been made to support the thesis statement and link
the relationship between national sovereignty and globalization.
