As the world becomes
more interconnected
through politics, trade,
and communications, the
role of state and
governments are also
shifting. Thus , national
and local context but also
international and global
realities.

affects local governments and local
communities ?
There is negative side of

globalization.
Dilemma for Local Governments
A local government would like to attract major like global investor in their
community by setting up for instance their community by setting up for instance
their manufacturing firm in their area. This could generate jobs for local people
and generate income for local businesses.
However it will entail convert tracks of agricultural lands into industrial zones.
Farmers will be displaced and agricultural production of the area will be
affected.
Global corporation is also demanding lower taxes and lower income wage in
order to finalize their investment in the area . They argue that they will create
more jobs and more income from the local community and government.
Institutions that Govern Globalization
 With the growing globalization, the governance of global relation goes

beyond the national governments. Nations state governments scale and scope
are limited in addressing regional and global
° issues like climate change,
cybercrime, and global financial crises. Works by authors like dryzek (2012)
and castells (2008) show the growing emphasis on the role of non – state
actors in global governance.
 The shift of authority to actors above and below the state is termed as “
glocalization” or “ internal globalization” (Roudomentof, 2005:113). As the
role of the nation-state and governments shifted, participation of these new
actors has opened up (Boli and Thomas , 1999).
There are several institutions that govern international relations and affairs.
 First and foremost is the United Nations . With 192 member states , it is
seen as the facilitator of global governance (Meyer , 2011).
 Another is regional commissions, which are group of official from different

countries. Instruct and debate , and are in charge of making certain laws
promulgate certain right for economic and social development ( CEPAL
et.al,, 2015 ).
