Are Corporates MORE POWERFUL than States? – KJ Vids

Who is more POWERFUL, CORPORATIONS OR STATES?

Amazon is now worth $1,000,000,000,000, but how powerful are corporations like Amazon compared to States?

It has become apparent that international relations are anything but a one-sided story of either state or corporate power. Globalisation has changed the rules of the game, empowering corporations but bringing back state power through new transnational state-corporate relations. International relations has become a giant three-dimensional chess game with states and corporations as intertwined actors.

States using corporations to achieve geopolitical goals in an increasingly hostile environment, and powerful corporations perhaps using more aggressive strategies to extract profits in response. If this is where we’re heading, it could have a lasting impact on the world order.
