and freedoms of the individual, it is important not only to
increase awareness of the seriousness of global issues,
but also to bring together actors in world politics. The most
important condition for unification of political forces in solv-
ing global problems is a broad and comprehensive coop-
eration, which should be mutually beneficial and universal.
The processes of globalization and democratization require
major changes in the entire system of international rela-
tions, which should, above all, represent a final departure
from the violent forms of confrontation by maintaining in-
stitutions implemented by the principles of peaceful con-
flict resolution.
However, despite these shortcomings, political globaliza-
tion seems inevitable. It is a very strong phenomenon; there-
fore, rather than resisting it, states need to find ways to
integrate themselves into the global system and thereby
stay economically relevant and competitive. In the theory
of political globalization, domestic policy is based on the
international situation and vice versa. Thus, domestic and
foreign policy are intertwined at all levels and complete each
other.
Global politics today focus not only on traditional geo-
graphic interests, but also on a wide variety of other fac-
Pol³t³cal sc³ence
tors such as economic issues, social issues, environmen-
tal issues etc. Therefore, the components of state sover-
eignty - the internal power, control of borders, political
autonomy and non-intervention - are facing unprec-
edented challenges. In fact, these challenges affect all
components of the concept of state and national sover-
eignty. As a result of particularly strong interference in
the internal affairs of weak states, however, the existing
strengths of the state cannot fully protect their sover-
eignty.
In conclusion, this work described and evaluated pos-
sible views towards the meaning of the term 'political glo-
balization', whilst also defining how this term is needed
in the current world. This short article is limited in its
scope in that it cannot cover all aspects of this issue.
However, the paper reviewed the key points of political
globalization. It is has been established that political glo-
balization over the years is like a snowball gaining vol-
ume. One question left beyond the scope of this article,
however, was namely whether or not we need more or
less political globalization. This issue is thought to be of
great importance and thus is proposed to be the focus of
further research.
