INTERNATIONALIZATION

internationalization. The act or process of bringing a territory of one country under the

protection or control of another or of several countries.

“[T]he concept of internationalization is characterized by three elements: the abolition or limitation of the sovereignty of a specific State; the serving of community interests or at least the interests of a group of States; and the establishment of an international institutional framework, not necessarily involving an international organization.” Rüdiger Wolfrum, “Internationalization,” in 2 Encyclopedia of Public International Law 1395 (1995).
