경제세계화의 전개와 주권국가 역할의 고찰

In this paper, I examine the changes in the meaning and role of traditional sovereign states in the development of economic globalization. In 2020, not only us but also many people around the world have had a hard time due to the global pandemic of a new infectious disease called COVID-19. In the current era of economic globalization, the only solution to the efficient and sound growth and stability of the national economy and social integration based on economic justice can come from the ‘just and necessary economic role of the state’. People all lead economic lives through economic communities. Therefore, if the economic community does not continue stable and sound, the economic lives of its members may be at stake, and therefore, the justifiable matters required for the existence, maintenance and development of the economic community can be called “economic community tasks.” They are ‘continuous economic development through stability of the national economy’ and ‘integration of society through the realization of economic justice’. These economic and community challenges can be realized largely through the role of the state. The economic constitution, the highest law and order on the nation's economy, is an expression of the economic sovereignty of the entire nation, a member of the economic community, and a legal basic order to regulate basic and important matters related to the order of life. Economic globalization means actually unifying the world's economy by eliminating the time and space constraints on the economy. Economic globalization implies the integration or expansion of the economic community. However, the ‘one-sidedness’ of economic globalization is weakening traditional sovereign states, and economic globalization is causing substantial changes in the components of sovereign states. This is a situation of mutual contradiction or conflict between the limitations of the state's role due to economic globalization and the economic constitutional request for sovereign states. The weakening of sovereign states is seen as the relocation of national concepts, the weakening of the meaning of territories and borders, and the relocation of sovereignty. Now, international cooperation and cooperation on issues of common international interest, such as human rights, environment, and security, have been requested, and the role and influence of international law, such as related treaties, are increasing, resulting in sovereignty restrictions. Economic globalization is also feared to cause a crisis in the constitution of sovereign states, such as a crisis in democracy, a crisis in the rule of law, a crisis in social states, and an economic constitutional crisis due to increased instability in the national economy. A fundamental review of international legalism is required, especially as globalized economic legal order poses significant constraints on the role of states in ensuring basic constitutional rights, democracy, and the rule of law. Due to economic globalization, quantitative and qualitative changes in the traditional national role are inevitable. Some of them are inevitable to reduce the traditional national role on the one hand, while others require maintenance and reinforcement of the traditional national role. First, it is inevitable to reduce the role of the state in matters requiring international cooperation and cooperation. However, the role of the state in the process should remain a better way of ensuring the people's basic rights and be a safeguard to prevent a worse violation of the basic rights. Second, despite the unilateral impact of economic globalization, the role of sovereign states needs to be more efficient and strengthened in terms of guaranteeing and realizing basic rights. Especially in the era of economic globalization, when multinational companies or predatory financial capital are trying to threaten the economic life of the people and infringe on basic rights, it is the only role of the nation that protects the lives of the people and supports the lives of the people. In short, as a development of domestic law in the era of economic globalization, domestic law should be improved to reflect the inevitable part of reducing the role of the state, and to strengthen the role of the state to the extent of economic globalization.
