The security concept described as military and political security has evolved especially after Cold War. Economic security has evaluated with the lack of security concept; therefore, it has been brought to the agenda. Globalization braces up the current imperial system. The globalisation concept which was described as a removing manufacturel, commercial and financial borders in the strict sense, required to handle economical security concept. It is caused to interrogate the global system and humanitarian values because of tending to gain power in global, regional, national, communal and individual areas so as to gain economical power actually. Material values has taken place instead of humanitarian values by the globalization. Stabilized, competitive and equitable commerces are supposed to be in the place according to the economical views. Current economic system basis is instable and unequal. Sensibility, which is because of interrelated dependency and the differences between backward countries and developed countries by globalization, is increasing rapidly. This causes economical crisis. On the other hand, it is well-known that economic crisis provides great opportunities for multinational corporations that keep big capitals in their hands. Industrial countries draw away the undeveloped and developing countries because of instabilities and inequilities. Furthermore, countries' unfair distribution of income is increased because of these imperfections. International organizations and national states consider the affects of multinational corporations when they are about to make a decision. In this point, it is relatively important how strong the national states' fire walls are. Because of these reasons, there should be a negotiation between these national states and global economic markets. Interrelated dependency, which was enhanced because of liberal and deregulated trades, brings some problems. Although it is capable of finding effective solutions to those problems, this is not considered in the present time. What globalization needs is ethical reform of globalization itself.

Individuals ought to organize some social movements so as to take their strong affects back on the governments.
