Overview
Most people perceive international public administration to be a
set of state structures, institutions, and processes. Opponents of
globalization argue that it weakens states, making it difficult for
them to sustain social welfare and environmental policies, and
create fiscal redistributive initiatives.
According to James Bovard, a libertarian author who focuses on
writing about government, proponents and businesses seeking to
expand abroad claim there is little or no evidence of national
governments’ decline. Congress, along with many policy
strategists, seems to think that whatever the effects of
globalization on governments, they are likely to be beneficial
for long-term economic growth (Bovard, 1987).
