The research aims to answer “how the economic globalization influences the role of nation-states in economy in context of economic integration levels”. In my research paper, I will use cross-sectional observational studies for single case study method of qualitative research through controlling the time. Firstly, I will analyze the role of nation-states in economy at different levels of economic integration such as free trade, custom union, common market, monetary and economic union. Later, I will observe the effects of economic integration over the role of nation-states in economy through exploring the European Union case. I will include the Treaty of Rome and Maastricht treaty into my research which enables to observe the legal responsibilities of nation-states while deepening of the economic integration. Consequently, those responsibilities or obligations forces member states to give up some policy tools in favor of economic integration which causes decreasing of their role in economy.

Despite of strong internal and external pressures, China achieved the membership status in WTO in 2001. Time series and cross-sectional data indicate that the implication of this accession has become highly positive for China and substantially negative for developed countries. Thus, the imports of developed countries from China have increased considerable more than their exports to the rest of the world. This has resulted with deficits in foreign trade account of developed countries. In addition, foreign investors were encouraged to invest in China because of its comparative advantages in international trade. This has slowed the economic growth and worsened macroeconomic performance of developed countries. Thus, worsening of macroeconomic performance after the accession in developed countries was mainly sourced from the deficits in international trade and flow of capital with China. Consequently, increasing of trade deficit with China and budget deficits as a result of expansionary fiscal policy has leaded to the foreign borrowing which resulted with huge government debt in developed countries.

Thus, great powers increase their relative power and maximize security in order to survival. Moreover, they pursue balancing or buck-passing strategies that depend on structures of the system. Mearsheimer called the 21st century as unbalanced multipolarity where Turkey and Iran want to become the potential hegomon in the South Caucasus, Central Asia and especially in the Middle East. Although Turkey pursues buck-passing strategy in the Middle East and Iran’s nuclear issue, both Turkey and Iran pursue balancing strategy in the South Caucasus. On the other hand, Russia wants to become the potential hegomon in the post-soviet region and increase its influence in the Northeast Asia area. After the accession to WTO, China has increased its power with its high speed economic growth which seeks to become the potential hegemon in the Northeast Asia region. As the hegemon of its region, USA acts as the offshore balancer in order to prevent the emerging of any potential hegemon in other regions.

In this research as my hypothesis I claim that the process in Nagorno-Karabakh (1992-1993) is precedent as an ethnic cleansing to the process in Kosovo (1998-1999) in terms of violations against civilian population. In international law, ethnic cleansing is defined as international crime or crimes against humanity. Ethnic cleansing in both Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh cases includes the intended and planned changing of the ethnic-demographic situation through violations of human rights such as intimidation, forcible exclusion of civilian population, killing of civilians, sexual violence, rape and torture, systematically destructing, looting and burning of civilian property which targeted to make impossible the return of inhabitants to their homes. Although the UNSC resolutions on Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh conflict didn’t officially include ethnic cleansing as a term, the elements of ethnic cleansing are mentioned in those resolutions.

In this research, I hypothesize that Kosovo's declaration of independence as a right of people to self-determination is compatible with international law and does not violate the territorial integrity of Serbia. Analyzing of the case of Kosovo in legal and practical context does not conclude with rejection of this hypothesis. Considering the case of Kosovo as a unique case of the application of the right to selfdetermination as well as unilateral declaration of independence by other cases in state practice, especially secession experience of republics of former Yugoslavia supports the hypothesis as well. However, shortcomings of international human rights law have leaded to the different interpretations of the concept and notions of the right to self-determination as well as Kosovo's declaration of independence. The research concludes that the experience of Kosovo can reconcile the conflict between the right to self-determination and the principle of territorial integrity only after removing the shortcomings of international law.
