Do International Institutions Weaken the Nation-State?
One of the major forces of opposition to global institutions such as we have reviewed in this chapter are groups concerned with their nation's sovereignty, briefly understood as the authority of their nation to govern itself. Many groups hold that supranational agreements are an assault on the nation's independence. Their concern is that, for example, UN treaties and conventions would weaken the power of their nation to make its own decisions. A specific example of this is found in the U.S. refusal to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which would, the claim is, hold international law over state and federal laws protecting the rights of parents to make decisions related to their children's upbringing and education. The Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change is another example. The argument here is that such an international agreement on emissions would modify the power of the state and federal government to regulate in this area. Ratification of foreign treaties and agreements requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate.
One of the counterarguments to the sovereignty position is that the benefits gained from joining in such supranational agreements far outweigh their trade-offs. This is especially the case with issues whose limits do not fall on international borders, such as climate change and pollution.
