Descripción: The sovereignty of the State seems to be eroding. This diminishing legal exclusivity of the State seemed particularly clear when international organisations, individuals and 'groups of individuals' such as transnational corporations or NGOs, appeared on the international legal scene. The foundation and growth of the European Communities, and the establishment in 1993 of the European Union, were most noteworthy as an expression of this process of erosion of the traditional powers of the State. However, the State was stronger and perhaps better equipped for cooperation and globalisation than many had predicted. Although its exclusivity had certainly lost most of its legal splendour, it appears to have retained its dominant position on the international stage. Consequently, legal scholars today often find themselves engaged in a balancing act, assessing the powers of the State in view of the increasing rights and duties under the international law of international organisations, individuals and other subjects.
