        abstract = {This study explores the multifaceted ways in which globalisation challenges national sovereignty in developing nations, focusing on economic, political, cultural, and technological dimensions. As globalisation accelerates cross-border flows of capital, goods, information, and influence, the authority of states—particularly those with limited institutional capacity—is increasingly constrained. Developing countries often find themselves navigating a complex landscape where economic reforms are influenced by global financial institutions, domestic industries are shaped by multinational corporations, and political decisions are conditioned by international treaties and external stakeholders. The paper examines how global integration affects economic autonomy through liberalisation policies and foreign investment pressures, while also highlighting the role of supranational governance structures in shaping domestic agendas. Furthermore, the study investigates cultural erosion driven by the spread of global media and digital platforms, as well as the loss of data sovereignty in the face of foreign technological dominance. Using case studies from India, Nigeria, and Brazil, the research illustrates how sovereignty is being redefined rather than erased, with states continuously balancing global engagement and domestic control. The paper concludes that while globalisation offers opportunities for development and modernization, it simultaneously necessitates a critical rethinking of sovereignty, particularly in contexts marked by historical inequality and dependency.},
