Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: One of the identified features of the current process of globalization is the proliferation and strengthening of international organizations. In this article I use the case of the World Trade Organization (WTO) to suggest a new explanation as to how international institutions affect the behavior of state and non-state actors. This new conceptualization allows an alternative view on the political dimensions of globalization, including the important question of the alleged �weakening� of the state and the possible decline of US powers. Using the case of the WTO, I identify three historical processes: the legalization of the international, the denationalization of the state and the liberalization of the domestic. Following Jessop�s strategic-relational approach to political institutions, I show that institutional organizations are strategically selective, so that policy outcomes in the international level depend on a complex interplay between the institutional arrangements in place and the political strategies used in support of or resistance to the actions of the organization. I show how this selectivity of the WTO was biased in favor of trade liberalization. By analyzing the specific implications on the United States, I show that the delegation of authority to the international organizations and the shift in political strategies put some constraints on the capacity of developed countries to impose their will on others. However, it has not resulted in the weakening of the state as such. Instead, it has resulted in the weakening of some state agencies and domestic actors and the strengthening of others.
