Tikhomirov, Y.A. The sovereignty in the conditions of globalization.

Abstract: Starting with the second half of the XX century the development of economic, scientific, technical, commercial and information connections among the states leads to the growing scope of their common interests, and, accordingly the number of issues, which need to be solved by all these states with due concern for the common interest grows too. Since economical and humanitarian factors play such a great political role, the phenomenon of the “nation state” becomes outdated, and the classical concept of state sovereignty also changed under the press of globalization. This article by Professor Y.A. Tikhomirov is devoted to various aspects of globalization influencing state sovereignty, both positive and negative. He also studies the practice, which was formed in various states.
