In an increasingly interconnected world, the concept of political obligation and the authority of the state face new challenges and transformations. This paper explores the dynamic interplay between political obligation and state authority in the age of globalization. By examining various theories of political obligation and analyzing the impact of globalization on state sovereignty, this study highlights the shifting boundaries and limitations of state authority. Through case studies from diverse geopolitical contexts, the paper delves into the tensions between state authority and individual rights, as well as the role of non-state actors in shaping political obligations. The findings reveal a complex landscape where traditional notions of political obligation are redefined, urging a re-evaluation of the state’s role in an interconnected global order. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on political theory and global governance, offering insights and recommendations for navigating the evolving nature of state authority in a globalized era.
