• Globalization should be promoted to benefit people, such as in lower prices.
• Globalization and democracy are not syncronyms and even though democracy may not contribute to economic development at first, it is what preserves economic development of a country in the long run
• Many ills of globalization may not be real, but excuses by politicians, e.g. who wanted to implement austerity programs (programs that ask people to tighten up their belts and sacrifice; some politicians may tell people that such is the result of globalization); and their opponents would fight globalism to return to the good old past.

Klare:

Many factors contribute to global insecurity after the Cold War is over, including

• The continued importance of territorial powers.
• Civlizational clashes (a la Huntington).
• Confrontations between those countries that globalize and that do not (a very inconceivable situation as today even North Korea is reaching out somewhat).
• Increased internal discord between different ethnic, racial, religious, linguistic, caste, and class, groups within one country.
• Capitalism creates a widening gap between the rich and the poor.
• The inability of the "flimsy state structures" to provide housing and feed the growing population in developing countries (sometimes a legacy of colonialism) leads people to form into (ethnic, tribal) communities to compete for the scarce resources or seize and divide up the infrastructure (or territory).
• Political mobilization made easy with modern technology (works in both ways: democracy or terrorism).
• The more rapid population growth in developing countries add pressure to the developed countries in immigration.
• Environmental pollution, which also worsens some of the above problems, e.g. migration.

Keen:

The breakdown of the power centers of the world and the emergence of new, smaller, ones (e.g. terrorist groups) is not necessarily the breakdown of order, but rather the emergence of another, alternative system of profit and power (O'Meara, 142).

• The 1980s civil war in Sudan between the Arabic Muslim Baggaras from the north and the African non-Muslim Dinkas and Nuers in the south was caused by the government to use the former to decimate the latter to get the latter's oil rich land and deprive their support to the rebel SPLA, in the name of "ethnic conflict."
• 1991 Sierra Leone civil war seemed to be an opportunity for their government to decimate the resource rich area, too.
• Civil war was often a way for governments to provide payments to soldiers that they could not provide themselves.
• Without a proper modern bureaucratic structure governments resource distribution would often invite fightings.

Laqueur:

Modern terrorrism has developed from individual attempts at assassination to a routine and institutionalized part of a group's identity, e.g. Hamas, IRA, that also have political arms carrying out normal organizational functions.

Disintegration of world power centers and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction means terrorists will more and more work in small groups and have greater access to powerful weapons.
