The process of globalization is an economic phenomenon originating from the capitalist system that is present in the process of economic and international relations in the most diverse countries. One of the characteristics of this process is the mutation of capitalism, fostering innovation and the emergence of new technological platforms aimed at the consumption of shared goods and services, such as the Uber, Ifood and Airbnb platforms. In this sense, the present article will address these characteristics of modern globalization, substantiated in the Shared Economy focusing on the study from the perspective of technological innovation and also some externalities about the informality and social impacts that the discussion addresses mainly regarding the importance of international public policies which guide the debate about the actions of the States in promoting the existential minimum for the population. Political polarization hampers the debate about the true role of the state in the globalized contemporaneity and dispassionate academic analysis contributes to clarify the premises of public policy- making and economic development. In view of these premises, the guiding question of the present article is based on the following question: what is the role of the State in the globalized world?

Keywords : Globalization; Sharing Economy; Public Policies and Welfare State.
