The globalization is a phenomena in a global level indicating
increased connection between nation in terms of socioeconomic needs
and objects, and the increased flow in ideas, cultures, people
among the nations. The globalization has been subjected to several
criticism, suggesting that it made some nation poorer and degraded
their socioeconomci conditions. This called for several kinds of
bargain and negotiations between the governing authorities of
several nations. The global securty environment reflects the
security issues like terrorism and increased crime by migrated
people in different nations.
Globalization in its theoretical level atleast, provides a huge
support to international trade's and finance's efficiency. Global
production and trade demands mobility of capital, finance and
labor. The most advancement of the global production can be
possible with the free flow of labor among nations. But that flow
has certainly causes some security problems. The flow of several
unskilled labor, who work in developed and developing nation, have
caused security issues around the world. But the problems were more
political in nature, in the first place. The problem can certainly
be reduced by increasing their living standards. That very flow,
along with financial and capital flow, has the potential to reduce
disparity among all the nation. Of course there might be the
security issues, but those will certainly be a short run aspect, a
rather temporary one. In the long run, globalization can bring
about equity in the living standards of people, along with
insitutions in different nations.
Hence, if governements of several nations should negotiate among
each other about these very transfers, ignoring the short run
effect, which might be a bit high, the long run effect will be a
singularity in the living standards and different cultures, which
might seem a bit hypothetical, but is and should be desired to
ensure global security all over the world.
