Abstract
Nowadays, with the emergence of a vast range of new actors which have an impact on various fields such as policy-making, organization of economies and ensuring the education of populations for example, some argue that the sovereignty of the state is threatened and that the sovereign nation state that we know is on the verge of dissappearing. By transforming the world and creating new connections, globalization empowers new actors and gives them more influences. It is an element that nation-states have to take into account and manage because it will have an impact on their sovereignty, which is 'the ultimate source of authority in a society'. According to this definition, the sovereign nation-states are the highest and final decision-makers of a community. Considering all these changes, to what extent the nation-states in the 21st century are the highest and final decision-makers?
