Balancing Cultural Identity and National Sovereignty in a Globalized World

Abstract This interplay between cultural identity and national sovereignty in globalization has been complex, with the increasing challenges that face nations in trying to retain their cultural heritage amidst participation in an interdependent world. In media, education, and policy-making, there is the tension between embracing global influences and maintaining cultural distinctiveness, with Western ideals more often than not overshadowing local traditions. A significant gap in current research involves the lack of in-depth analysis concerning how countries like the Philippines grapple with these dual pressures, which often struggle to uphold national sovereignty and protect cultural identity from foreign influences. The available literature does indeed discuss globalization from an economic and political point of view but very often neglects the cultural dimensions, especially the way globalization affects national identity and sovereignty. This study sought to find out how countries can balance cultural identity and national sovereignty amidst globalization. Through thematic and content analysis of available documents, reports, and studies, this paper explores the strategies that nations could employ in balancing these competing demands: what policies should they adopt in cultural preservation while selectively engaging with global standards? How should they promote cultural education, regulate foreign media content, and strengthen local cultural industries? The significance of the study is that it articulates strategies on how to integrate cultural concerns into national policy frameworks to improve national identity amidst globalization.
