Summary/Abstract: In a classical conceptual discourse, the concept of the state is inseparable from the concept of sovereignty. However, due to globalization processes and influence of global institutions of power, the sovereignty of states is being eroded. The state lost its traditional sovereignty, related to the monopoly of power, stability and safety. Powerful states and their global institutions are using different mechanisms through which they impose their interests and accomplish neoliberal aims that benefit the rich countries, and which contribute not only to impoverishment of states that accept those programs, but also to erosion of their sovereignty. Very strong and intense influence of supranational and transnational instituion calls in question the autonomy, independence, integrity and sovereignty of the states. Sovereignty is eroded and the state is desovereignized.
