Partial loss of independence.
Centralization of management is taking place on a global scale. The subjects of state power transfer part of their authority to powerful supranational associations - the IMF, the UN, the WTO, the World Bank, the European Union, NATO, etc. As a result, the governments of states that have entered into one or another organization cannot carry out a full-fledged independent policy. It is necessary to take into account the interests of not only your country and people, but also of the above organizations. As a result, it turns out that countries such as Bulgaria, Romania, Greece allow the European Union to almost completely decide on a number of national issues. And, for example, France and Germany are under NATO pressure in military matters.

Economic globalization.
This aspect, it seems, is the most interesting in the framework of global integration. Standardization of world trade, common rules for international transactions - all this should be convenient. But in practice it turns out a little differently. General rules are written in the interests of those developed countries that took the most active part in their preparation. Of course, any state can receive some local benefits, but in a large-scale perspective, trading according to the rules of others can be detrimental to the national economy. There are regional economic associations, for example, the Eurozone. It is difficult to judge whether all of them are successful for their participants, since each such association has its own goals and objectives.

Mass culture.
Globalization is also taking place in the creative fields. In practice, it turns out that cultures are also unequal, and rather than integration, but the Americanization of all nations. Films, music, television programs, often of very high quality. However, due to the lack of an alternative, this process is more similar to the dominance of one national culture.
