    Chapter 4: The Global Intereststate System
    Final

    1. Examine the interaction between the nation-state and international organizations. Which
    has the greatest impact on government?
    Answer:
    To begin, international organizations emphasize the individual's inherent rights, while the
    nation-state emphasizes the government's duty to the nation. Nation-states now rule the
    planet, for better or worse. Since nation-states are so strong, they use international
    organizations for their own purposes, which is how their relationship began. We may
    assume at this point that the nation-state has the most influence because international
    organizations (IOs) are not sovereign, while states are, implying and often implying that
    they govern decisions within the state as well as their outward-facing relationships.
    Hence IOs can fine, take legal actions, and say words but cannot force governments to do
    things nonetheless the state can. States are sovereign and they make decisions through
    governments that are part of the state. They also form IOs and are the form of IOs,
    without them, IOs would not happen and they finally decide on the IOs' action through
    joint votes and input.

    2. Do civil society and INGOs strengthen or undermine the role of the governments in
    international relations?
    Answer:
    Why or why not?Civil society and INGOs can strengthen organizational structures and
    processes to reach a common goal, and one of those goals may be international relations.
    Many non-government organizations are associated with international organizations that
    work on common goals just like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These
    especially reach out to third-world countries that may need financial backups and
    technical support which the government may not offer. They may also offer strategies or
    practices that government may implement to improve current systems. Thus, as they help
    one and the other, international relations are strengthened. They cannot weaken the role,
    because National Governments always have the right to expel the INGO from its ports
    and borders

    3. Are civil society and other organizations truly separated from the government's action
    and policies?
    Answer:
    In what ways can the state maintain its sovereignty amid globalization? Yes, the
    governments, civil society, and even corporations (multinationals mainly and some
    locals) are all linked. So how the state can maintain its sovereignty despite globalization
    is first, though every nation wants to progress and develop and want to see itself at the
    top of other nations. State and people should not forget its uniqueness which is its culture,
    traditional practices, conservation practices towards the environment, core values, etc.
    So, government and citizens of that particular nation or state must maintain a balance
    between the two. Second, as globalization brings the influence of other countries into a
    particular country, it becomes vital for the government and citizens to take precautionary
    steps although this takes too much effort yet this helps state maintain its sovereignty, by
    way of making either citizen aware through campaigning, mass movements and by
    empowerment and by way of teaching the importance of preservation of core values and
    not to distort them by way of impacts of globalization. Lastly, the government can take
    steps towards keeping and maintaining its sovereignty by way of making rules and
    regulations, and laws related to various foreign industries, foreign direct investment,
    foreign technologies, etc. So that country's certainty can be maintained.
