Security & Terrorism

The links between security, terrorism, and globalization were highlighted
vividly by the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York City and Washington,
D.C. The hijackers were non-US nationals who worked in the US and even
studied to be pilots there - enjoying the mobility and opportunities afforded
by globalization. The spread of destabilizing weapons and delivery systems
through commercial transactions also demonstrates the dark side of economic
integration. But the global reach of terrorist groups has led to the emergence
of global cooperation in counter-terrorism. The following articles have been
assembled to shed light on these and other related issues.
