  Abstract: Globalization can be defined as a complex process in which the countries and societies of the world get more interconnected. Nowadays due to impact of globalization the international relations have expanded and the establishment and strengthening of international organizations have led to reduction of autonomy and sovereignty power of the states. The question arises her is what aspect of nation-state have been challenged by globalization? In what way the power and influence of the states have been weakened? The finding of the study which has been pursued by a descriptive-analytical method shows that expansion of new media has led to the formation of new concepts like global culture and global human rights and their acceptance by the peoples of the world have challenged national culture and sovereignty. In fact the advent of globalization with support of information revolution and delocalization and the emergence of the global human rights concept has limited the national boundaries and the absolute traditional hold on sovereignty. The requirement and implications of globalization have also challenged independence and national sovereignty of the states in favor of global culture. The supra-national and non-governmental organizations have gained more power than before. Hence we are witnessing the decline of the power of national governments. Of course it is to be noted that in international scene and interactions, the official actors are still national governments but gradually their power is decreasing and giving their place to supra national institutions.

  Aiming at citizenship organ, as a bio-national center of gravity, globalization results in displacement of such “center of gravity” such a way that a bio-innovation called “bio-globalization” is appearing in 21st century. “Bio-globalization” is a type of life in which not only national and home-made commitments, responsibilities, and rights are considered valuable but also humans achieve a level of knowledge based on that they are responsible globally for meta-national values and human instructions. In the present research, this hypothesis is tested: globalization causes a situation in which human knowledge and responsibility are treated meta-nationally because of information revolution and finally such knowledge and responsibility are linked to common social values. According to this, the concept of national citizenship in 21st century will not be fixed in future; on the other hand, a novel aspect of citizenship is appearing in 21st century called “meta-national or global citizenship”.   Manuscript profile
