An In Depth Look Into Globalization
1. An In Depth Look Into Globalization
Security Implications
As previously mentioned, globalization offers more access to goods, services, foreign direct
investment and capital flows throughout the international community. It is the interconnectedness of
the world economy that helps advance and share technological advancements, educated workforces,
and diversifies markets with foreign goods and services. However, the integration of the world
markets offers ongoing challenges to the U.S. security environment.[1] The ease of the Internet,
technology, and migration of people can negatively impact national and international security. The
September 11th terrorist attacks are a prominent example of how Al Qaeda was able to "effectively
exploit new communications technologies, global financial networks, and the ease of movements of
people."[2] As globalization positively impacts society, criminals, transnational organizations and
terrorists are able to use the world economy to their advantage. These illegal networks are able to
exploit the transfer of illicit materials and goods with fewer restrictions and boundaries, ultimately
intensifying such threats on a global scale.[3] Author, Victor Cha (2000), states that the 21st century
military powers have put significant emphasis not on "greater firepower but greater information
technology and 'smartness' of weapons as the defining advantage for future warfare."[4] However,
globalization weakens a country's control over the transference of knowledge, ideas and information
in general, creating an unstable atmosphere.
Globalization presents a plethora of dangerous threats that can erode or damage the security
environment. The increased movement of people on an international level has elevated the chances
for disease outbreaks, pandemics, and pollution that can cause significant health and welfare
issues.[5] Since globalization is causing more challenges such as pollution, diseases and the
worsening of global warming, government's are not acclimated to such new threats and lack the
appropriate policies or attention to environmental awareness to rectify these security
implications.[6] Other noteworthy security threats have emerged, exploiting vulnerabilities of the
world economy, such as cyber attacks, viruses, human and drug trafficking and organized crime.[7]
On a positive note, the international community is aware of the emerging threats to the security
environment and continues to refine governmental policies and "preventative strategies" to ensure
the global economy is not as susceptible to such threats in the future.[8]
Conclusive Remarks
Globalization is an evolving phenomenon and continues to have a more positive impact on the
international community. Globalization has provided more opportunities for international trade and
greater access to expanded global markets, causing numerous nations to financially flourish over the
years. Every country responds differently to globalization and will follow a variety of paths to
achieve economic success. Globalization benefits not only developed countries, but developing
nations as well. The countries that fully embrace the globalization process and adopt trade
liberalization policies will benefit from being integrated into the world economy. Developed and
developing nations need to continue to work together to build a strategy for helping poorer
countries embrace trade liberalization and sound economic policies that will support a better quality
of life for its people. The interconnectedness of nations does present challenges to the security
environment. The ease of access to information, transportation, communication, and migration of
people also aids illegal activities to expand across geographic boundaries. To face such challenges
and threats, the international community needs to establish multilateral negotiations to assist the
2. struggling nations and develop preventative strategies and policies to reduce the vulnerabilities
within the global economy.
