W. I. Robinson'ın Tezi Üzerinden Küreselleşmeyi Okumak.

Globalization is one of the most debatable issues in political economy literature as both a concept and a process. The state apparatus is generally the focal point of these debates. The reason of this is that there is no compromises -due to the nature of the social sciences- about the status of the state in the globalization process. This paper examines the transformation of the structure of state in the process which is characterized as globalization. In the paper, it was accepted that the state's form has undergone a change in the globalization phase which is described as the transnational process of capitalism via William Robinson's the global capitalism thesis. Globalization is not a process which excludes the state apparatus on the contrary; it is a process which develops via states. In this context, states as an apparatus which is an internal factor of capitalism, have achieved the neoliberal transformation process and integrated its territories to global capitalism.
