Globalization as a factor of sovereignty transformation: opportunities, risks, and legal consequences

This article is dedicated to the study of the multifaceted process of globalization, analyzing key concepts that shape the understanding of this complex phenomenon. The relationship between globalization and sovereignty is a central issue. Various theoretical approaches are considered, ranging from liberal theories that emphasize economic integration and interdependence to critical perspectives that highlight increasing inequality and the erosion of national borders. The impact of globalization on political, economic, and cultural spheres is examined, along with its consequences for nation-states and their ability to control internal processes. The authors focus on how to balance engagement in global economic and political processes with the protection of national sovereignty. The interconnection between these two aspects is explored. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the main concepts of globalization and their impact on state sovereignty, identifying both opportunities and risks associated with this process and contributing to a deeper understanding of contemporary global politics.
