It has been discussed in the context of new emancipatory possibilities, as well as in the context of loss of autonomy and fragmentation of the social world. [6] Political globalization can be seen in changes such as democratization of the world, creation of the global civil society, [11] and moving beyond the centrality of the nation-state, particularly as the sole actor in the field of politics. [4] [12] Some of the questions central to the discussion of the political globalization are related to the future of the nation-state, whether its importance is diminishing and what are the causes for those changes; and understanding the emergence of the concept of global governance. [13] The creation and existence of the United Nations has been called one of the classic examples of political globalization. [12] Political actions by non-governmental organizations and social movements, concerned about various topics such as environmental protection, is another example. [12]
