Globalisation of Politics

Traditionally politics has been undertaken within national political systems. National governments have been ultimately responsible for maintaining the security and economic welfare of their citizens, as well as the protection of human rights and the environment within their borders. With global ecological changes, an ever more integrated global economy, and other global trends, political activity increasingly takes place at the global level.

Under globalization, politics can take place above the state through political integration schemes such as the European Union and through intergovernmental organizations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization. Political activity can also transcend national borders through global movements and NGOs. Civil society organizations act globally by forming alliances with organizations in other countries, using global communications systems, and lobbying international organizations and other actors directly, instead of working through their national governments.

avoid the aliens;
11:58 AM

we look friendly
but underneath, we're scary

Basically, we are a group of
aliens down on Earth for a mission,
to see how Earthlings
have evolved since the last time
we came down to investigate them. And to our surprise
they're actually united in a way.
Human beings call this
GLOBALISATION
We live on Earth using our
human names so as not not arouse suspicion Hanle, Shiyan, Grace, Yifan, Bowei
