International Security, Globalization and Rise of Terrorism
Abstract
Globalization is becoming an ever more influential concept of the new international security agenda. Its impact on the evolution of the relations among states in this key area is contradictory. On the one hand, globalization contributes to accelerated development of productive forces, scientific and technological progress and ever more intensive communication among states and peoples. Therefore, objectively it helps humankind to build up the resource base and the intellectual potential for ensuring international security at a qualitatively new level. The growing interdependence of countries and peoples in every sphere helps to generate new political approaches aimed at creating democratic multilateral mechanisms of managing the international system and hence reliable solution of the security problems. At the same time the processes of globalization, which mainly develop spontaneously, without a collective directing influence of the world community, aggravate a number of old problems of international security and engender new risks and challenges. For instance, there is increasing concern that terrorists in the future will carry out catastrophic terrorism with weapons of mass destruction nuclear, chemical or biological. This threat is compounded by the risk that these weapons may spread throughout the world, aided by globalization. Therefore, this paper discusses the interconnection between security and globalization in the context of terrorism in the 21st Century as they affect the day-to-day lives of billions of people globally.
