dc.description.abstract | This thesis analyzes the concept of terrorism in the age of globalization.
Terrorism, which has been motivated by ideological, religious and national reasons,
has added to its concern issues like inequality, injustice, dissatisfaction and
antiglobalist movements, due to development and technology in the world. In order
to clarify this shift in the policy, the concepts of terrorism and globalization are first
explained as distinct issues. Terrorism has been globalized because of
modernization, developments in technology, communication and the ease in
transportation. Thus, globalization has started to serve terrorism, while with its
positive effects it became helpful in the fight against terrorism. The connection of
globalization to terrorism has been explained in this respect. As the previous tools of
diplomacy and military measures started to lose their validity, international
cooperation and law have emerged as the tool to fight against terrorism. Since
terrorism is a phenomenon that cannot be totally abolished, the best way to minimize
terrorism is the use of international law, with necessary organizations established to
form a cooperation at the international level. | en_US |
