Abstract:
Globalization and terrorism are interrelated phenomena, with globalization creating new opportunities for terrorists to exploit, such as the increased movement of people and goods across borders and the expansion of international trade and investment. Terrorism, in turn, poses a threat to globalization, as it creates instability and undermines the confidence of investors and consumers. In this paper we tried to study the historical background of globalization and terrorism so that we can provide insight into the roots of these phenomena and how they have evolved over time. We also investigated the impacts of Globalization on Terrorism and Global Peace, to do this, secondarydata collection was employed, materials used was gathered from documented evidence, and descriptive andqualitative data analysis was employed. In other to link globalization to terrorism the economic, political, and cultural dimensions of analysis was used as a theoretical linkage, while Conflict theory was used as the theoretical framework to analyze critically the subject matter of our work. Our findings proved among other things that globalization has created economic and social inequalities, which have led to grievances and frustrations among some groups, leading to the resort to terrorism as a means of expressing these grievances. Investing in international cooperation and coordination in the fight against terrorism, including the development of new tools and mechanisms for sharing information and resources was recommended as part of the ways to control global terrorism in the quest for global peace and security.
