Does social contract theory become irrelevant due to globalism?
That makes sense. Do you think globalism has any impact on the responsibilities of a government towards its citizens under social contract theory?
Globalism definitely complicates the exercise of governmental responsibilities under social contract theory. With increased interdependence, governments often find themselves negotiating agreements and establishing policies that benefit multiple countries, which can lead to tensions and disagreements when these policies conflict with individual national interests. This can weaken the power of the social contract theory to deliver its traditional obligations to its citizens.
