Article Abstract:

Globalization is affecting the nature of state power, but nation-states can still maintain their influence. Technological forces for globalization include telecommunications and surveillance. Economic effects of globalization include external financial restraints, delocalization, integration and increased foreign investment. National governments will retain powers of migration control, income distribution and competition policy. Territorial symbolism will persist, influencing legal systems besides geographical claims of ownership.
