Introduction In order to clearly understand the failure and collapse of the state, it is essential to appreciate the development of the state in the global system. The question that arises must therefore seek to provide an answer as to the impacts of globalization on the stability of States. Therefore, this article seeks to trace the main origins of the state and attempts to offer an explanation of the factors of globalization that cause state vulnerability. Benvenisti (2013) states that state collapse occurs when the structure of the state and its legal and political orders collapse. Benvenisti (2013) further argues that state collapse is more common in situations where the factors responsible for state formation and maintenance are not sufficient. The early 20th century saw most parts of the world moving away from state governance. It was at the beginning of the 20th century that most regions of the world fell victim to globalized capitalism and colonization. As a result, the idea of ​​a sovereign state as the best form of governance has had adverse consequences on state governance. The number of states increased rapidly after decolonization. While most developing countries took a nosedive because of the idea of ​​a sovereign state, most developed countries stuck to state governance. The end of the Second World War contributed to increasing pressure on the concept of the state, which was already disappearing. In an effort to save their statehood, global superpowers such as Great Britain and the United States of America have resorted to diplomatic support and economic aid to help maintain states. Since most small countries in the developing world were facing many economic and political problems, the paper world......ntries. Member states inject money into companies to promote them in their positions. The increase in the number of international organizations contributed to the decline of state governance because they represented a form of common agenda for all countries around the world. With international corporations in place, countries no longer needed to maintain states since a new forum of solidarity was already in place. Without having to make sacrifices, countries with political sovereignty had a better chance of partnering with other countries while retaining their sovereignty (Hart, 2013).ReferencesBenvenisti, E.
