Globalization thus implies that sovereignty is not only becoming weaker in reality, but that it needs to become weaker. States would be wise to weaken sovereignty in order to protect themselves, because they cannot insulate themselves from what goes on elsewhere.
这样，全球化不仅导致主权在实际上有所减弱，而且也使削弱主权成为了一种必然。国家为了自我保护而削弱主权其实是明智之举，因为任何国家都无法使自己与别处发生的事情绝缘。主权已经不再是国家的庇护所。
