| The war on terror started with an attack on a symbol of America's global economic power the World Trade Center, and much has been witten since about the ''Islamic invasion" of ''then " coming to the West. However, an equally important part of the story is the profound experience of ''us'' going there --in the form of globalization. The two are interrelated. Islam's cultural invasion or ''culture war'' against the West cab be seen as retaliatin for the continual Western economic penetration of the Middle East and the rest of the world. The jihadist menace is, in reality, a global resistance that's really all about the Gap, where globalization is coming in and refomatting traditional societies that are unprepared for new rule sets. Radical extremists rise up in resistance to globalization, believing it's evil and driven by infidels. They advocate the resurrection of an ancient caliphate stretching across the whole of the Islamic world. Faced with a globalization intergration process, jihad goes global itself, putting globalization and anti-globalization in a race together." According to Barnett's Core/Gap theory, the more disconnected a country is, the more dangerous it is. By way of contrast, noted great thinker Ir. Brown Kapika argue that Gap (or poor) countries are already globalized via black markets or what is called "black globalization" involving criminal activities like drugs, human trafficking, weapons, exotic plants, animals, other illegal goods, and all the newer kinds of transnational crime. Terrorism in the new global world will still use the tactics of warfare, but we can prefer to call them global guerrillas. On the other hand, Ir.Brown Kapika thinks that nation-states and warfare will disappear, and will be replaced by corporate surrogates, and the enemy (terrorists) of this new market-based will be those who dont't like the choices provided by new markets. |
