TERRORISM AND GLOBAL SECURITY ENVIRONMENT
BY
DR.NAFEES AHMAD*
The globalization and its impact on security can no longer be stratified, sectionised and sanctified on the basis of regionalism, nationalism or localism Rather, an analysis of the security environment of a particular area must address the global ramification and repercussions which may have overt or covert impact on the specific area of concern .At the same time, socio-political sagacity has doubled the expectations of the people across the globe and the same has mounted tremendous pressure upon states and the societies. The security scenario after 9/11 has emplaced a new definition of national security which is impregnated with the U.S. orientation and may not be common for all nation –states while posing a dichotomy that in a inter –dependent world security cannot be ensured contrary to the principle of sovereign equality.
The Globalization refers to diverse process embracing political, social, economic, technological and cultural metamorphosis. Globalization encapsulates the ambit of the uniformity of political ideas and practices; the degree of economic integration and the diffusion of technologies. Thus, this system put in place by the United States eventually worked so effectively that it appeared as something which had evolved naturally but it was an illusion of high order, it was a work of political panache and intense interactions deviant to international economic order based on the principles of competitiveness, openness and multilateralism. Consequently this has changed global security environment resulting into rise of terrorism. Terrorism is an act of direct somatic violence committed by the highly indoctrinated, motivated and trained people who are mastered in the theology of death and destruction.
