The current era of globalization is indeed characterized by a global populist revolt and the return of great power rivalry, but it is not marked by a rejection of authoritarianism; in fact, there has been a notable rise in authoritarian tendencies in various parts of the world.

Question 2

Question 3

'World government' is a more fanciful idea than 'global governance'.

Accepted Answer

'World government' implies a single, centralized authority governing the entire planet, which is a more speculative and ambitious concept than 'global governance,' which refers to cooperative management of global issues by nation-states and international organizations without implying a central authority.

Question 4

Realist sceptics of globalization believe that globalization (or more accurately, internationalization) is a product of hegemonic power and does not alter the basic structures of world politics, nor the centrality of states and state power to national security and survival.

Accepted Answer

Realist skeptics argue that globalization is driven by the interests and power of dominant states rather than being a transformative force that diminishes state sovereignty or alters the fundamental nature of the international system. They maintain that the state remains the primary actor in international relations, and its pursuit of power and security continues to shape global politics.
