Security and Globalization in the Context of International Terrorism

Summary/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 recog-nizing 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 ter-rorism, but homeland security gained importance.
