Questions:

1. Identify and explain several aspects of globalization that weaken the states' conventional power or authority (e.g., tax collection, environmental regulation, managing the flow of information, trades, people, etc.) and make it more difficult for states to manage their societies. Then, explain how some aspects of globalization can improve states' capacity to manage their societies.

2. Read closely Haidt's article "When and Why Nationalism Beats Globalism" (pp. 585-590) in The Globalization Reader and answer the following questions: What exactly is the difference between "globalists" and "nationalists," according to Haidt (2016)? Do you find Haidt's account of the causes of populist anti-globalist politics and his prescriptions for decreasing polarization plausible? Explain why or why not.

3. Given that global civil society organizations (e.g., international non-governmental organizations or INGOs such as Greenpeace, Human Rights Watch, the Red Cross, etc.) lack formal authority, and many of them usually have limited money or other resources, why do nation-states pay any attention to them? In what ways do you think that INGOs are necessary in dealing with global social problems? Use example(s) to support your arguments.
