Terrorism, Globalization, and the Forces of (Dis) Order in the Islamic World

handle is hein.journals/bialspw10 and id is 11 raw text is: Chris Eskridge TERRORISM, GLOBALIZATION, AND THE FORCES OF (DIS) ORDER IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD* Introduction We live in a troubled and tumultuous era. September 11 and its aftermath, the financial meltdown of 2008 and its aftermath, have littered the landscape with new obstacles that must be identified and surmounted. As of this writing, the events in Central Asia and the Middle East are cause for the devil himself to dance. The catastrophic impacts of global warming and of general environmental degradation seem to be on our doorstep, and it does appear as if the world may be heading into a depression, measured both in spirit and in hard currency. Achieving success and security, peace and justice in life remains a great challenge, and the bar has been raised of late due to recent events that are seemingly careening out of control. While the basic principles of progress and success remain the same, their operational application now needs to be adjusted so as to properly respond to the unique dynamics of the new and ever changing social, political, and economic environments in which we function. The valiant among us remain undaunted by the new challenges and move forward relentlessly, implacably, perseveringly and unyielding in heart and in mind. This trek of discipline carries a hefty tuition but offers much to those who pay the price. This paper seeks to outline a series of inter-related socio-political, economic factors and forces, catalysts and causes if you will, that are impacting the state of order and disorder in our world, and suggests a course of action that we must undertake to mitigate the turmoil that is swirling around us all. * This article is a wider version of paper presented during seminar entitled Terrorism, globalization and the means of reaction on terrorism in the era of globalization at the Faculty of Law University of Bialystok on 15-16 March 2009. 11
