17. Render the text into English: Глобализация в политике
В политике глобализация заключается в ослабевании национальных государств. С одной стороны, это происходит из-за того, что современные государства делегируют всё больше полномочий влиятельным международным организациям, таким как Организация Объединённых Наций, Всемирная торговая организация, Европейский союз, НАТО, МВФ и Мировой Банк. С другой стороны, за счёт сокращения государственного вмешательства в экономику и снижения налогов увеличивается политическое влияние предприятий (особенно крупных транснациональных корпораций). Из-за более лёгкой миграции людей и свободного перемещения капиталов за границу также уменьшается власть государств по отношению к своим гражданам.
В XXI веке наряду с процессом глобализации происходит процесс регионализации, то есть Регион оказывает все большее влияние на состояние системы международных отношений. Происходит изменение соотношения между глобальным и региональными составляющими мировой политики, а также усиливается влияние региона на дела внутри государства. Причем регионализация становится характерной не только для государств с федеративной формой устройства, но и для унитарных государств, для целых континентов и частей света. Наглядным примером регионализации является Европейский Союз, где естественное развитие процесса регионализации привело к выработке концепции «Европы регионов», отражающей возросшее значение регионов и имеющей целью определить их место в ЕС. Были созданы такие организации как Ассамблея европейских регионов, а также Комитет регионов.
