In an essay, evaluate the impact of globalization on global security. In your response, be sure to both articulate a clear opinion supported by facts, and respond to evidence that refutes your view.

Globalization refers to the increased interdependence of nations, which involves goods, services and cultures. In an ever shrinking world, threats to security poses a risk to communities across the world. This realization has enabled communities and nations to enter into treaties and agreements with an aim of sharing intelligence information on risks such as terrorism, cyber crime and sabotages of economic and political aspects.

There has been criticism from anti-globalization activists who compound that globalization has also globalized threats as it escalates cultural intolerance. This view is however not founded on the premise but the anti-thesis.
