Terror-Globalisation and the Rise of Modern Terrorism

Abstract

The modern world has been ravaged by persistence violence and acts of terrorism and this has grown from national to global due to the development in information technology and liberalisation of trade which has also made national borders insignificant and terrorism globalised. Although there are controversies on the contributory role of globalisation on terrorism this work therefore seeks to draw the lines to identify if globalisation has fed or crippled global terrorism. Terrorism is present in every parts of the world and can spread to any part of the world within a short period and it is rather a challenge that terrorist organisations now use social media which ordinarily was developed for better communication of people to spread their gospel of terrorism and also recruit terrorist across border and even give directives on where next an act of terror should be felt.
