Globalization affects national sovereignty in policymaking by creating interdependencies among nations and increasing the influence of international organizations. As countries engage in trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange, they may face pressures to align local policies with global standards and agreements. This can sometimes lead to a perceived erosion of sovereignty as democratic processes must accommodate external interests. While globalization promotes cooperation and resource sharing, it also raises concerns about local governance and the ability to address unique domestic issues. Balancing these competing interests is vital for maintaining national autonomy.
