Capitalist globalization on state governance

Abstract

The debate on globalization has been increasingly focused on the relationship of the nation-state with economic globalization. But the problem of globalization and the state has been partially focused. Some consider the nation-state (and the intra-state system) is seen as the center of international relations and world development in a dualist construction that raises a separate logic for an economic globalization and for a nation-state-based political system; Others affirms, as it happens in many theses on "the end of the nation-state", it is not really important anymore.

In order to clarify the relations between globalization and the nation-state, from a critical perspective beyond this global-national dualism, the concept of the transnational state (TNS) is incorporated.

To explore on this basis it is proposed to analyze three axes: 1) economic globalization has its counterpart in the transnational formation of classes and in the emergence of a transnational state (hereinafter TNS) that has come to exist to function as the collective authority for The ruling global class; 2) the national state does not retain its primacy nor has it disappeared but has been transformed and absorbed into this broader structure of the TNS; 3) this emerging TNS institutionalizes a new class relationship between global capital and global labor.
