Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sovereign authority has reasserted itself through the censorship of Internet web sites by some states. Governments have imposed restrictions on the Internet to control access to information and suppress dissent. This represents a reassertion of sovereignty over the flow of information within a state's borders.

Answer: D
 Another way that sovereign authority has reasserted itself is through a sharp rise in tariff barriers. Some countries have adopted protectionist policies to safeguard domestic industries and reduce reliance on foreign imports. This represents a reassertion of sovereignty over trade and economic policy.

Note: Choices A, B, and E do not reflect a reassertion of sovereign authority, as they involve the expansion of non-state actors (multinational corporations, NGOs) or the breakdown of international systems (Bretton Woods).
