Resumo

This article examines the complex relationship between globalization and the postcolonial state. Challenging the simplistic narrative of the state's decline in the face of globalization, the authors argue that globalization has actually reshaped and reconstituted the state's power in new and often contradictory ways. They explore how postcolonial states engage with global processes, sometimes resisting, sometimes accommodating, and sometimes actively shaping these forces to their own ends. The article highlights the diverse experiences of postcolonial states, emphasizing the importance of local contexts and historical legacies in shaping their responses to globalization. It also examines the role of transnational networks, flows of capital and information, and the changing nature of sovereignty in the contemporary world. Ultimately, the authors suggest that understanding the postcolonial state requires a nuanced approach that recognizes both its limitations and its enduring significance in the era of globalization.
