This research investigates whether globalization weakens states’ sovereignty, or reframes the channels that its uses within the conflict of laws. It is doctrinal and theoretical in nature and follows the analysis of the scholarship and authority materials adopted in the text to illustrate the role of sovereignty in fundamental conflict of law domains such as jurisdiction, applicable law, objective connecting factors, public policy, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. This work argues that globalization does not extinguish sovereignty. It disrupts pure territorial assumptions and imposes a need for sovereignty to proceed better under coordinated, targeted, and context-sensitive conditions. The rise of digital commerce, transnational private normativity, cross-border transactions, and the adoption of technical standards do not eliminate the role of the state in any conflict of laws event. Instead, it changes the circumstances in which states allocate authority, admit foreign law, and cooperate with foreign courts. therefore, this work argues that the core task of current conflict of laws is not to abandon sovereignty, but to reformulate doctrinal methodologies and strategies so that they respond to transnational private relations without compromising legal certainty, public policy, and the state’s continuing normative role.
