    September 11, globalization and world peace
    (İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi, 2005) Tepe, Fatma Fulya; Karatay, Abdullah
    Globalization is the defining feature of our time. We, intensely, experience this phenemenon in our everyday life. It inevitably touches everywhere andchanges who we are, what we do, where and how we live. Reactions to it are various. September 11 terrorist attacks to the World Trade Center and Pentagon by middle-eastern men who have university education, causing thousands of casualties, moved the globalization process and the discussions relating to it to another dimension, shaking all our established beliefs. Then came ‘the Terror War’ against Afghanistan by the US after Osame Bin Ladin was declared the chief instigator of the attacks and after Taliban rejected to deliver him to the US authorities. Before the disputes over this approach to terrorism died down,we began to witness the Iraqi War, launched by the coalition forces led by the US without the approvalof the UN, for Saddam Hussein was seen as a threatto world peace with the mass destruction weapons he was supposed to possess. All these acts of violence that the masses are subjected to, indicate that violence may be the new rule in the globalization game. Resistance in the post-war Iraq and the recent acts of terror in Turkey and Spain seem to support this proposition. We think that if the UN, as an international power, undertakes a role which may balance the US in issues concerning security, international violence will be more easily controlled.
