The impact of globalization on local politics is profound, as it interlinks economies, cultures, and political systems worldwide. Local governments are increasingly influenced by international trade, foreign investment, and transnational issues like climate change. This can often limit the autonomy of local policies, as decisions are subject to global market forces and agreements. Conversely, globalization can empower local movements to connect and organize transnationally, amplifying their voices on the global stage and promoting local issues with wider audiences.
