Globalization and the Position of Indigenous Cultures and National Sovereignty in the Third World

چکیده

Globalization is defined as a complex process that leads to increased interconnectedness among societies and nations. Today, as a result of globalization, international relations have expanded, and the establishment of major organizations has challenged various aspects of nation-states. This research, conducted through an international descriptive-research method, shows that globalization has resulted in a reduction of domestic independence and internal governance of nation-states. The formulated question points out that, aided by new media, new concepts such as global culture and global human rights have been embraced in contrast to national culture and national (domestic) rights. The emergence of the globalization process, based on the information revolution and displacement resulting from globalization, has rendered national borders less significant and limited traditional absolute authority. Moreover, the implications of globalization have challenged various dimensions of state independence and sovereignty in favor of global culture, and non-governmental organizations and supranational entities have gained greater power compared to before. Consequently, we are witnessing a decline in national states and local cultures compared to the pre-globalization era. However, it should be noted that in the arena of international exchanges, political and economic power still predominantly belongs to the formal and primary role of governments, and the process of globalization is gradually replacing them with new entities and concepts.
