Abstract: Globalization, a defining phenomenon of the 21st century, has reshaped the political, economic, and cultural landscapes of nation-states. While it has fostered unprecedented interconnectedness and collaboration, it has also challenged the traditional concept of state sovereignty rooted in the Westphalian system. This research explores the multifaceted impacts of globalization on national sovereignty, focusing on economic liberalization, political interdependence, cultural integration, and technological advancements. The study highlights both the opportunities and threats globalization presents to sovereign states. On the positive side, globalization facilitates collective problem-solving, drives economic growth, and promotes cultural exchange. However, it also erodes economic autonomy, subjects political decision-making to supranational influences, and threatens cultural identities through homogenization. Through case studies of entities like the European Union, India's WTO interactions, and China's Belt and Road Initiative, this research identifies the dynamics between globalization and state sovereignty. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for balanced governance strategies that harness the benefits of globalization while safeguarding national interests and autonomy. This study provides a framework for policymakers to navigate the complexities of globalization, ensuring sustainable development and equitable global integration without compromising the sovereignty of nation-states.
