Security and globalization in the context of international terrorism

Abstract

This article examines the interconnection between security and globalization in the context of international terrorism. Security became so complex and multi-dimensional, traditional national border-setting type of security perception is not capable of recognizing new threats that transcend the national borders. Terrorism also,became more challenging with globalization thus, the fight against terrorism became a priority for all the nations. Global terror as well as other risks in the twenty first century requires cooperation for security. However, the response of states to 9/11 terrorists attacks shows that in the post-sovereign global world states remain as important agents of security. The strong states try to shape and master the impact of globalization on terrorism, but homeland security gained importance.
