Implications of Globalization on National Security

Abstract

Three categories typically identify the national security issues most affected by globalization: the nature of security threats in a globalized world, how globalization affects national security efforts, and the waning of the state's exclusive role in providing national security. Today's definition of national security is larger and more encompassing than it was a few decades ago. In addition to military security, it considers all aspects of human security as well as all aspects of a nation state's national power. Comparably, globalization entails increasing global homogenization, interdependence, and integration. This century has seen the dramatic rise of globalization. The effects of globalization on national security will be covered in this essay.
