How do realist view globalization?

Realists view globalization primarily as a phenomenon that can enhance state power and influence, but they remain skeptical about its broader implications for international stability. They argue that globalization can lead to increased competition among states, as economic interdependence may heighten tensions and conflicts over resources and security. Furthermore, realists believe that states will prioritize their national interests and sovereignty over global cooperation, often viewing globalization as a tool for powerful states to assert dominance rather than as a means of fostering collective welfare.
