Global Issues & Society 1: NGOs and Nation-State Evolution Review

This assignment explores the complex relationship between Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and nation-states within the context of globalization. It begins by examining the increasing influence of NGOs and their impact on government operations, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that arise from this dynamic. The assignment then delves into the evolution of the nation-state model, discussing the establishment of national identities and the shift beyond the Westphalian model, driven by factors like international integration and socio-cultural development. The response analyzes the government's role in adapting to this evolving environment, including the formulation of relevant policies and the importance of leadership in achieving both national and international goals. The work also emphasizes the necessity of collaboration between the private and public sectors to effectively address global issues. The assignment concludes with a discussion of how governments can embrace these new opportunities. The assignment includes relevant references to support the arguments presented.

Global Issues & Society

Question1
b. Non governmental organisations.
Globalisation refers to spread of information, products, services, jobs along with
technology across boundaries of cultures of a nation. There are numerous issues faced by a
society in context to globalisation.
Yes, the proliferation of non governmental organisations results in incapacity on part of
governments as the government of any country is majorly dependent of performing operations
with the help of non governmental organisations. The increase in such organisations causes
issues or challenges to perform functionalities in effective manner. NGOs are considered as an
innovative elements in context to human social organisations and takes important steps to
address local as well as global challenges. NGOs are provided prominent positions and they
negotiates in relevance to advocacy activities to understand human rights, peace as well as
environment. They plays important leading role in providing disaster relief, development
assistance along with humanitarian aid (Curran and Hesmondhalgh, 2019). They are important in
the challenging world as to help common people to understand the demands and to run the
growing banking sector in which they provides funds with the mission to grant low interest
loans to small businesses so that all the challenges are effectively identified and provisions are
formulated to solve them. NGOs as well as governments can work together through various ways
such as sharing advocacy efforts to boost productivity, by recognizing partnership intangibility,
by focusing collaborate on key issues, managing people effectively through cross sector
partnerships, by developing portfolios to offset risks, by define success collaboratively along
with measuring impacts and sharing thought to overcome them. Such ways will help in attaining
success along with strengthening collaboration between both will result in complementing one
another. Private sector should involve itself through opening solution centres, providing
monetary resources along with encouraging training and development activities for such
coalitions, making contractual agreements with such coalitions and engaging themselves in
various charity events planned by NGOs and government collaboration. Public sector has
formulated E Governance initiatives that helps private players to get themselves indulge in
certain coalitions between government and NGOs. Other then these, joint stock policies,
alliances, campaigns, advocacy work, ongoing discussions as well as stakeholders engagement
are some of the mediums that can be opted by private sector to get indulge themselves in the

stated coalitions to address issues or challenges that are becoming constraints for development
(Urry, 2016).
Q2.
Compared to its non-national successors, the nation-state's most important impact is the
establishment of a standardized national identity through government policy. Creating mandatory
main education national systems is usually related to popularizing separatist discourses. The
nation-state model means that its population is a nation united by a common descent (Nwosu and
et. al., 2015). I think it is good to moving on with this existing model in term of exploring the
small and medium scale organizations and groups towards more growth and development and it
is essential in terms of determining the changing duration for better results and themes. As the
world is moving beyond Westphalian nation-state model, numerous activities are driving
changes such as organisational activities, collaboration of multiple countries, non interference
principles, international integration and many more. The next step for the evolution of society are
socio cultural development which will reduce complexities of nation to perform business
operations other than state laws.
According to me, government will be overwhelmed with such new environment as it will
improve economic situations of any nation and will enhance employment opportunities for
regional people that will increase collaboration among international countries and domestic
business (Antrobus, 2013). They will adapt numerous policies to meet constellations of new
opportunities or challenges. By understanding the environment of such new system, government
will frame some critical policies that will benefit them face the challenges. Some of the policies
are climate related policies, international trade policies, re framing obstacles into opportunities,
utilising creativity to overcome similar obstacles and many more. With the changing scenarios,
government authorities will become increasingly decentralized as due to the diverse business
opportunities available to adopt new system. Importance of leadership in such new system is that
it will maximise efficiencies of any country and help in attaining international goals in effective
manner. Transactional leadership as well as system leadership will increase awareness related to
the set new reforms and will help in overcoming drawbacks of the existing system which will
guide countries, organisations.
