Analyze the key driving forces to increase interdependence.

PAD 540 WEEK 3 DISCUSSION“State Making” Please respond to the following:“Globalization is commonly described as the processes and forces leading to an ever-decreasing capacity of the nation state to govern within its territorial boundaries” (Levi-Farr & Vigoda-Gadot, 2004).

Examine the major factors that account for the unequal distribution of globalization effects in different states. Suggest how policy entrepreneurs, policy makers, and policy administrators should redesign states so that people can benefit from globalization in general. Provide a rationale for your response.• Analyze the key driving forces to increase interdependence.
