| Abstract | In an attempt to explore and problematize the linkage between complex issues and themes about globalization and the power of the state, the precise aim of this paper will be to show that one of the necessities of globalization, in its current form, is to deconstruct the power and autonomy of the state. It is quite obvious that the notion of the relative autonomy of the state has declined significantly. This is not because the state has suddenly become more pluralist and inclusive of racialized ethnic groups, women, gays and lesbians, and immigrants in the arenas of institutionalized power. The state is increasingly less autonomous from the interest of capital. The interests of the state and multinational corporations appear to be synonymous. The passing of the Canada-United States Agreement (CUFTA), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the development of trading blocs, the rolling back of the redistributive welfare states indicate the hegemony of business interests within the political arena. Hence, capital has not only framed the state‟s agenda, but it appears to have exerted significant influence on the power of the state. This paper draws, especially, from illustrations that present themselves in the United States and Canada. |
