A globalização e as implicações jurídicas na soberania dos Estados

Abstract

This article aims to highlight the legal changes brought about by globalization to the detriment of the sovereign power of states. After the conceptual sedimentation of Sovereignty and Globalization through bibliographic research, a qualitative analysis of the transformations of internal and external law was carried out, using the thought of great philosophers, doctrinators and jurists. It was concluded that sovereignty is the power that emanates from the people, which is monopolized by states to obey the social’s will. Currently, globalization is described as a world phenomenon that seeks the uniqueness of society by creating deliberative, advisory and sanctioning international bodies. This research was based on considerations about the value of sovereignty in confront of advancement of international organizations in the sphere of normative production and conflict resolution. Finally, it was emphasized that one of the most esteemed branches within the global community is international environmental law, since several plurilateral treaties were made to protect the environment as a source of humanity's wealth.
