11. A major problem in jumping on the end-of-the-nation-state bandwagon is to separate objective reality (e.g., increased global financial flows, increased global trade within and between multinational companies [MNCs], declining public employment) from an ideological position pushed by these same financial interests, MNCs, the United States, and international organizations seeking to increase their power on the basis of a global economic order. According to Peter Evans, "The effect of a global ideological consensus (sometimes aptly labeled the 'Washington consensus') on individual states goes well beyond the constraints imposed by any structural logic of the international economy. . . . The economic logic of globalization does not in itself dictate eclipse [of the state]. While globalization does make it harder for states to exercise economic initiative, it also increases both the potential returns from effective state action and the costs of incompetence. Only when viewed through the particular prism of our current global ideological order does globalization logically entail movement toward statelessness. This global ideological order grows, in turn, as much out of the prejudices and ideologies of dominant global actors as out of any logic of interests" ("The Eclipse of the State? Reflections on Stateness in the Era of Globalization," World Politics 50, no. 1 [1997]: 62-87).
