How does the global war on terror illustrate a globalization-era shift in war and security

Among the many reasons for parties to engage in a war is to ensure that the security of their respective parties is enhanced and safeguarded. Security is very important to any society or person as it contributes to ease of living, and carrying out daily activities thus enhancement of development. As time goes by, the world has experienced several wars among different countries and regimes. These wars have been carried out to ensure the security of these countries in different aspects. Terrorism has been a worldwide issue, whereby, acts of terror from radicalized groups have been resulting in deaths and cause of harm to a huge number of people. As a result of the success being seen in the global war against terror, global countries have changed their tactics of engaging in war and seeking security for their citizens.

The global war against terror which has been made possible by globalization has resulted to an interaction of military, police, and intelligence from different parts of the world which has also been seen to be used in the present wars and security measures in the world (Von, 1976). War on terrorism has been as a result of globalization, therefore it has resulted in shaping and defining the war and security around the world. Wars around the world are as a result of the non-economic factors in them. For instance, non-economic factors include power or politics and traditional positions among other aspects. Globalization has played a very important role in ensuring that the countries that are affected grow the desire to fight the attacks.

The same way passion to fight terrorism is spread globally, the same way the passion to fight each other or to maintain security for the citizens is spread. In that case, a passionate war is fought. Secondly, the philosopher indicated that war occurs in the event a chance present itself. The war against terrorism is being fought because chances to do so have come into being. For instance, some individuals started forming groups that were aimed at terrorizing other people around the globe. Their activities were and remain to be a threat to the security of the citizens in the world. As a result, different countries have come together courtesy of globalization thus finding ways of dealing with the issue. This is an indication, that the attention towards war and security globally and locally has been increased (Waldman, 2013).

For instance, the security personnel of America have been sent to different parts of the world to aid in fighting the terrorist groups threatening the security of these regions. For instance, in the first and second world war, the different communication strategies were used thus resulting in millions of military people being engaged in the respective fights. Strategies Inline to war and security, the world has been in a position to come up with sophisticated strategies as a result of the exchange of ideas from different individuals from different parts of the world. These strategies are to be used in war to attain the desired reasons. Terrorism has been an issue that has seen the security of the masses of the world compromised.

Terrorism activities are aimed at killing and causing harm or destruction of human lives by some groups that have been radicalized (Newman, 2012). Innovation and creativity have ensured that sophisticated weapons and machinery that are aimed to be used during the war have been developed (Schneider, et al. For instance, during the nineteenth century when industrialization was coming into being, thus resulting in the utilization of fossil fuels and methods that are modern resulted in arming the military personnel. The railways and ships developed in this region helped in carrying the weapons and the armies. Countries are coming together intending to design weapons that will outdo the weapons of the enemy thus attaining victory. For instance, during the Second World War, the new technology was used to come up with aircraft designed for war.

Studies have identified that the developed countries are more vulnerable to these attacks because of the high-level use of technology in their dealings. In that case, despite communication that is globalized being used to curb terror activities, it is playing a part in opening avenues to different countries hence an increase in attacks and wars. The issue of security has also been a topic under discussion for the longest time. The global war against terrorism has been identified to ensure that citizens of different countries are safe and secure from attacks (Poku and Therkelsen, 2017). Security has been made possible through the engagement of different countries on a global platform. These aspects have been spread effectively through countries engaging in wars courtesy of globalization.
