ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ ДЕРЖАВНОГО СУВЕРЕНІТЕТУ В ПОСТБІПОЛЯРНІЙ МІЖНАРОДНІЙ СИСТЕМІ

Abstract

The current state of the international system is characterized by dramatic changes in the international political, social and economic spheres of social interactions, and is characterized by qualitative transformation of Westphalian system of international relations. Westphalian system of international relations started its existence from the fact that the participants of international cooperation were only states that acted independently or formed coalitions to solve outstanding problems. At the end of the twentieth century it became apparent that other, too influential actors appear on the world arena. Together with the states on the modern transformation of the contemporary system of international relations exert considerable influence varied intergovernmental and international nongovernmental organizations, multinational corporations, and domestic regions. Globalization, characterized by the free movement of capital in order to obtain higher profits and expanding sphere of influence erodes national boundaries. The states are forced for economic stability and growth cooperate with international organizations and take them into the game. It is proved that the coming decades the traditional concept of sovereignty will be significantly transformed, and the notion will take another meaning and interpretation. Among the factors that would influence on the above mentioned the next ones are singled out: the internationalization of scarce resources and maybe territories; strengthening of the international regimes; expansion of transnational political spaces; formation of a global information space; global environmental and climatic imperatives etc. The confrontation of two countervailing trends is noted – to strengthen sovereignty, on the one hand, and its constraints on the other. And these trends are often embodied in the policies of one country or a group of countries. Within interpretations of sovereignty of the XXI century understanding of the limits of the autonomy of sovereign states in the choice of means in solving various domestic problems would be adjusted. In the context of international relations the subject of debate for decades will be the nature and principles of the use of coercive or other measures to opportunists in the international regimes of interaction on international and transnational levels of world politics, the mechanisms of global governance.
