Abstract: This article argues that globalization did not weaken the State per se, rather that since globalization is a ubiquitous and fluid concept, it has accompanied the transformation of specific historical forms of State power. It demonstrates that globalization and the State are forming an autopoietic dyad in which each concept/actor has a specific role that presupposes the other. Thus the State, by undergoing institutional and structural changes, is assigned a renewed role as an economic planner. As such, the State is shifting towards what may be called a form of socialist post-statism or neo-multilateral socialism.
