Bello Sanusi Dantata Ph.D

Abstract

This study examines the impact of globalisation on national sovereignty, with a focus on a comparative analysis between developed and developing countries. The primary objective is to explore how globalisation has altered the sovereignty of nations in both contexts, specifically in terms of economic independence and political autonomy. The study employs a comparative case study methodology, analysing data from three developed countries (the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom) and three developing countries (Nigeria, India, and Brazil). Data were collected from academic literature, government reports, international organisation, and media sources. The findings reveal that globalisation has significantly weakened national sovereignty in both groups of countries, although the nature of this impact varies. In developed countries, the loss of control is mostly economic and political, with trade agreements and multinational corporations exerting substantial influence. Conversely, in developing countries, sovereignty is compromised by economic dependence on global markets, foreign aid, and the dominance of multinational corporations. A key recommendation is that both developed and developing countries should renegotiate trade agreements and strengthen local industries to regain a degree of autonomy in the face of globalisation
