There is no clear division today between what is foreign and
what is domestic
Bill Clinton, Presidential Inauguration Speech, 20 January
1993.
1. "... the locus of effective political power can no longer beassumed to be in national governments - effective power isshared and bartered by diverse forces and agencies at
national, regional and international levels.2. "the idea of a political community ... of a self-determining
collectivity - can no longer meaningfully be located withinthe boundaries of a single nation-state alone.
3. "criss-crossing loyalties, conflicting interpretations of rights
and duties, interconnected legal and authority structures.David Held, Anthony McGrew, David Goldblatt and JonathanPerraton, Global Transformations, Politics, Economics andCulture , (Cambridge: Polity Press, 1999).

David Held, Anthony McGrew, David Goldblatt and
Jonathan Perraton, Global Transformations, Politics,
Economics and Culture:Three broad understandings of globalisations effects
on foreign policy decision making and the state:
The hyperglobalisers: market forces rule,
The sceptics: the world economy is dominated by
three large trading blocs with powerful national
governments
The transformationalists: present situation is
historically unprecedented and states and societies
are going to have to adapt

Robert Keohane:
Sovereignty is best understood less

Conclusions: Its still all about states; they
just have different capacities. A: State institutions because they too (like economic,
ideological and military institutions) provide necessaryconditions for social existence: the regulation of aspects ofsocial life which are distinctively territorially centred. Thusthey cannot be the mere consequence of other sources of
social power. B: Since states vary greatly, if (A) is true, these [state]
variations will cause variations in other spheres of social life.Even within Europe states differ Across the globe, variationsdramatically increase: in degree of democracy, level ofdevelopment, infrastructural power, geopolitical power,
national indebtedness, etc. .variations cause variationamong these forces, and so limit globalisation.
