GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

What does Global Citizenship entail? In today's accelerated globalization process,


states and citizens are no longer the sole actors and objects of international
relations. In place of the old normative notion that states are the only entities
that carry and possess rights, duties, and freedoms, new subjects are emerging,
namely sub-state or infra-state entities such as regions or municipalities, non-
governmental organizations, and people themselves. This new development is
bound to have both descriptive, prescriptive, and normative impacts on the
current general concept of citizenship. The concept of Global Citizenship provides
interesting parameters for understanding the modern international system. This
chapter presents the descriptive, prescriptive, and normative assumptions of this
new citizen figure as an analytical and operational tool to understand and
measure the level of participation and organization of the new subjects in the
process of globalization that is transforming the international system, as well as in
the relations that citizens maintain with these new entities and the subjective
behavior of ordinary citizens in process of citizenship

THE RELEVANCE OF THE STATE AMID GLOBALIZATION INSTITUTION THAT
GOVERN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

This article analyzes the role of states in the governance of international relations
and focuses on the abuse of distinction by their critics between high globalization
of the economy and low globalization of the state, while widening the scope of
analysis beyond the state versus society substituting structures and the state
versus other states, to include as well the state versus the global. The argument
develops in four steps. The first step identifies a series of criticisms leveled by
contemporary theorists to the state control of the market and of the international
arena. The underlying critique is, in each case, liberal.

Relevance is synonymous with being imperative, critical, or qualitatively


important, a significant or systematic effect. Since the peace of modern society is
imperiled when his own principles reach the age of the institutions he helped to
establish are surpassed, he remarked, modern society is the synthesis of
principles and institutions, and it is only when these principles and institutions are
in opposition, when one or the other is weakened, that society can be disturbed,
and its existence be brought into question. The weakness of any institution, we
think, does not derive from its non-operation, much less from its non-existence,
but rather from its loss of significance, from it commanding adherence not freely,
but rather grudgingly, manipulatively, ritualistically, and unreflectively. In
contemporary social debate, no institution is criticized more than the state, but at
the same time, no other is invested with the same expectations, with such an
important role in every individual's and society's plans of well-being.

EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION TO GOVERMENTS
Governments must take steps to adapt to the economic globalization that has
been developing since World War II. The transformation of governments into
more globalized forms may soon show us how much social support there is for
corporate enterprises, manufacturing, technology, science, and other institutions.
In a world where currency, global technology, and investment power are
continually at one's doorstep, what steps will governments take to avoid social
injustice in wealth, educational opportunity, and health care? This book will
concentrate on the negative consequences of globalization on the social systems
of capitalism—primarily government, religion, education, and health care.

National economic borders have no meaning in the electronic world of computers


where rules are fixed by international consensus, managed by global industry, and
where disputes over conflicting trading rules are settled by its own bureaucracy.
Clearly, the new trading rules in a global economy support corporations while at
the same time weakening national governments and developing a philosophy of
globalization of the national social systems. Although governments continue to be
concerned about social support from their citizens, in the end, money power will
develop a philosophy such that all systems in the world of globalization will find a
way to survive without the core economic engines of money, technology, and
trade for health science, educational systems, and adequate government
revenues.
