Globalization+and+Terrorism

toc =Globalization and Terrorism=

How are terrorist organizations global networks rather than connected to just one country?
Terrorism is not only one countries worry but also a global issue now. The reason why it is a global issue now is because many of the attacks that are happening in the world don’t only affect one country economy, but the economy of all the countries whose companies have been seriously damaged from the attack. Many may see terrorism as an issue that doesn’t concern them since it has never affected their country; what people don’t know is that even though it didn’t affect them directly, their economy was affected by the attacks because there were companies in the country that was attacked. Another reason why terrorism is part of globalization is because nowadays terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and FARC have small groups all around the world, so that when they plan attacks they already have little organizations which makes things easier for them to control and attack. Terrorist groups are not worried about attacking one country and only affecting their economy, they want to affect everyones economy so that they can have a greater impact on the country and the message that they are trying to portrey through the attacks that they organize.

The global impact of groups such as Al Qaeda
Al-Qaeda is an international terrorist network led by Usama bin Laden. There are many global impacts of groups such as Al Qaeda. Impacts are caused in various area which are world market, oil, air travel, import and export, tourism, insurance, ethnic businesses, and economic etc. Airplanes are excellent targets for terrorists for one simple reason, the helplessness that passengers have when on an aircraft. If a terrorist tries to take hostages on the ground, people can try and run, the police will soon arrive, and the situation is contained within one location. On an aircraft, there is nowhere to run, no police in sight, and the location of the hostage situation is constantly changing. This presents a very difficult problem to law enforcement who are incapable of defusing a situation. Impact of Terrorism on Tourism includes actual movements of tourists, spending and receipts, as well as the consequences for key industry players, such as airlines, airports, hotel companies, tour operators and destinations. It is should be realized that the impact of terrorism on tourism is not limited to the trend in arrivals in a destination immediately following the occurrence of an incident, but extends to the “reaction to the reaction” of authorities and private sector tourism enterprises to the threat of terrorism. The terrorist attack on America has changes the way they think and how they live. The economic impact on the stock market, the job market, and on our federal budget has affected their global economy. The goal of this research project is to discover overall economic impact of the terrorist attacks on both the American and the global economy.

The Mumbai terror attacks
Mumbai attacks were a series of ten coordinated terrorist attacks across Mumbai, India’s financial capital and its largest city in 2008. The attacks, carried out by a Pakistan-based Islamic terrorist group using automatic weapons and grenades, began on 26 November 2008 and ended on 29 November 2008. At least 173 people were killed and at least 308 were injured in the attacks. When terror is caused in any country, it affects the whole world. It is because the world is connected to each other. Therefore, every world gets in trouble. There are many ways that the whole world affected by the Mumbai terror attacks on import and export, tourism, air travel and etc.

How do countries/international organizations work together to resolve terrorism
Globalization is the spread of cultural ideas and economic, it also includes the spread of terrorism. Terrorism has happened all around the world and became a global issue(Figure 1). Since it’s the global issue, countries work together to resolve them. Countries work together by organizations, conventions, and ma kinig treaties. There are two different kind of conventions, one is truly international convention which is opened to ratification to all states. Now, there are about 13 of this convention. The other one is regional mutilateral terrorist conventions which is only for the particular region. Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism, the Inter-American Convention Against Terrorism, and the Organizaton of African Union Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Terrorism and Protocol are all regional mutilateral terrorist conventions. Countries also make treaties on terrorism. “ A **Treaty** is an agreement under international law entered into by actors in international law, namely states and international organizations.” The countries get together and make an common decision on resolving terrorism. The treaties such as the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations on 1960 and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations on 1963. (Figure 1) this map shows that terrorism has happened all over the world.

What are the consequences when countries/international organizations do NOT work together to resolve terrorism
Terrorism is an important global issue nowadays. It is important that countries work together to resolve terrorism. If the countries and organizations don’t work together, terrorist would spread wider and wider and become worse. It would threaten the safety of people and be a great damage to the world. Also, if countries just work on itself to resolve terrorism, the different oppinion and ways of resolving terrorism might be another conflict between countries. So it is very important for countries to work together.
