Lecture 10
TOPIC
Globalization:
Militarism,
Extremism and
Terrorism
The world may not have yet turned in a single world society but
every aspect of social reality is simultaneously undergoing
globalization, witness the emergence of a world economy, a
cosmopolitan culture, and the rise of international social
movements. And this global interconnectedness runs much deeper
than the interdependence of states.

Steven
Staples,
the
Chairman
of
the
International Network on Disarmament and
Globalization, states that
Globalization and militarism should be seen as
two sides of the same coin. On one side,
globalization promotes the conditions that lead
to unrest, inequality, conflict, and, ultimately,
war. On the other side, globalization fuels the
means to wage war by protecting and promoting
the military industries needed to produce
sophisticated weaponry.
