Is the concept of sovereignty beneficial in our lives today despite the onset of globalization? While many might argue that the benefits of globalization outweigh those of sovereignty, few would recognize the fact that today there is still a need for sovereign states in our societies to eliminate, for example, the demise of the middle class and economic crisis. social disintegration between lower wage earners and higher wage earners that occurs as a result of globalization. In this essay I argue that despite the fact that the idea of ​​sovereignty within individual states is currently diminishing due to globalization, sovereignty should have a role to play in our daily lives as it offers countries the opportunity to create their own laws that best suit their objectives. I recognize that globalization and the elimination of sovereignty brought about by globalization offer many benefits to the countries involved, but I demonstrate that the consequences of the onset of globalization and the elimination of sovereignty within individual states outweigh the benefits resulting from globalization. First of all, it is important to define exactly what the key terms of this discussion are, namely "globalization" and "sovereignty". Globalization can be defined as the “continuous movement towards economic, political, social and cultural interdependence that has, for better or worse, reduced the autonomy of sovereign states” while sovereignty can be defined as the “principle of self-government ; to say a state is sovereign is to assert that it has a monopoly of force over the people and institutions in a given territorial area" (Garner et al. 455, 459).
