A NATIONAL INTEREST–BASED APPROACH TO GLOBAL PROBLEMS

Abstract

In the era of globalization, addressing global challenges requires not only international cooperation but also a clear understanding of national interests. This article examines the relationship between national priorities and global responsibilities, emphasizing the need for a balanced and sustainable approach. Global issues such as climate change, economic instability, public health crises, and technological inequality affect countries differently depending on their internal conditions and development levels. This study employs a qualitative research methodology, including literature analysis and comparative evaluation of different national strategies. The findings indicate that integrating national development goals with global sustainability frameworks leads to more effective and long-term solutions. The article concludes that cooperation, innovation, and adaptive policymaking are essential for harmonizing national and global interests.
