Terrorism and Globalization: Is Terrorism a Part of Globaliz

In the world today, there is a growing trend in violence, both domestically and internationally, in the form of terrorism. It is present in our everyday lives and in every part of the world—some more than others. Terrorism takes on many forms and has had an impact on all our lives in one way or another. Whether it affected us directly with the loss of a loved one or an incident we were a part of, or indirectly by heightened security at the airports causing delays, sudden drop in a stock values we own, or emotionally by the countless reports and images displayed by the media, terrorism has affected us all and shows no signs of going away anytime soon.

Our second association deals with globalization. Unlike terrorism, there is as much debate as to when “globalization” started, as there is to a definite definition on the association. Referring to Rubik Egoryan again, he proposes that there were three phases to the development of globalization: 1. Within continental 2. Intercontinental 3. World-wide. Egoryan’s proposal is based on examples, the following is his argument:

“terrorism is linked to globalization. If it were not for globalization, there would be less of a desire on the part of countries to become involved in other countries’ affairs. Because of globalization, the interests of one country will overlap with those of many different countries. It’s impossible to be isolated in such a world, therefore it is expected that the potential threats from other international actors will increase in number. As governments protect the interests of their corporations (which have expanded with globalization), the governments are more likely to intentionally or unintentionally infringe on the interests of others. Sometimes, these infringements can be viewed as acts of state terrorism.”
