"Despatializing of the state”, It is the process of a transnational formations of states cooperating with one another, it takes place within a transnational executive bodies, each government is acting in a transnational space because the commitments entered into are binding for all ,as the case in the European Union .Despatializing of the state is when governments negotiate agreements that are binding under international law or when they come together to form new ,this cooperation is a spaces of ‘cooperative sovereignty’ ,which is capable of dealing with both global problems and global corporations by creating new sets of coordinates for action .However, this strategy comes at a price. ,if states want to appropriate new policy and sovereignty options for the purpose of governing, that is, if they want to extend the scope of their political sovereignty and control, then the price they have to pay is active‘ self-denationalization’, a reduction in national autonomy. Thus, under the conditions of economic globalization, states fall into a nationality trap: if they cling to the potential for sovereignty offered by nation-state politics, then competition for investment among states increases along with the danger of the global market being dominated by monopolies, which in turn disempowers state actors. If, on the other hand, they are able to reduce competition among themselves by forming political alliances based on mutual commitment, in order to strengthen their position in relation to global business, they need to relativize their national autonomy. The state’s nation-based conditioning and parochialism become an obstacle to inventing and developing forms of politics and statehood at the transnational level in the age of economic globalization.
