Abstract (EN)

Globalisation is a phenomenon that has occurred during differentperiods of history and affects communities in a political, economic andmilitary way. The last globalisation wave after the ending of Cold War isinteresting since it affects the communities culturally as well.This process which is defined as the last wave of globalisation, can beshortly explained as the trial to have life cultures, understanding ofdemocracy, threat perception and security strategy similar to the life cultureand democracy understanding of West Europe rooted civilisations.The application of culture as well as economy, politics and militarybased pressure policies in the geography where Middle Eastern and Asiansocieties live that have natural energy resources after the Cold War inaccordance with the target of creating new markets and acquiring newenergy resources so as to vitalise the exhausted economic structures of thedeveloped countries that represent Europe rooted civilisation and theenforcement to have Western type life culture and understanding ofdemocracy adopted as ?absolute truth? have lead to reaction and violence.Violent actions of past which were based on regional or ethnical roots or theviolent actions of the Cold War period which were based on ideology haveinteracted not only with each other but also with international criminalorganisations with the effect of the technological improvements and haveprovided the grounds to the globalisation of terrorism.The cultural conflicts which have sharpened gradually because ofcultural provocations and reactions that include excessive use of violencehave been used as an influence vehicle by the groups that benefit from suchconflicts and the difference between Eastern and Western cultures hasalmost been transformed into an ideology and has lead to a new polarisationperiod in the world.The big terrorist actions on and after September 11th, have shownthat also terrorism has the ability to organise and influence globally.The application of methods and strategies contrary to internationallaws in political and military interventions from time to time that are carriedout because global terrorism is perceived as global threat, has acceleratedthe process where cultural polarisation and intercultural conflicts turns intoviolence.In addition, terrorism has become a global economical sector afterterrorist groups formed relationship with international criminal organisationsin order to find resources and extend their area of influence.The shaping of military, political, economic and cultural policies by theeconomic requirements of globalisation has lead to the reshaping of thescenarios regarding the future of the world and fundamental changes insecurity strategies.USA, which is the source of the recent globalisation phenomenon andthe most important representative of global economy, which has pioneeredthe application of globalisation-oriented policies and has the biggesteconomy, the biggest military organisation, the biggest political sanctionpower has also a big share in the globalisation of terrorism as well aspolitical, military, economic and cultural globalisation within cause and effectrelations.The application of the precautions to be taken so as to be successfulin the war against global terrorism as fast, as flexible and as effective asglobalized terrorism; the improvement of global decision-makingmechanisms, military and political strategies and even personal securityprecautions taking the global terrorism phenomenon into consideration haveutmost importance.Nevertheless, the war against global terrorism can only be possiblewith the removal of the reasons of terrorism. So, developed westerncountries and especially USA should give up their policy aiming to removethe cultural differences among communities for economic purposes and thecommunities that do not want to adopt Western Europe civilisation shouldgive up using violence as a reaction method.
