SummaryGlobalization has affected the political world system. Power relations amongst states have been altered due to a number of social, economic and political developments. “Contemporary globalization is associated with a transformation of state power as the roles and functions of states are re-articulated, reconstituted and re-embedded at the intersection of globalizing and regionalizing networks and systems.” (Held & McGrew, 3) Held elaborates on this ‘intersection’ during a debate with Barry Buzan. “(Due to globalization) Political power, in other words, is being re-positioned, re-contextualized and, to a degree, transformed by the growing importance of other (less territorially based) power systems.”(McGrew, Held & Buzan, 1996)
