International terrorism as a form of response to the overestimated dynamics of the globalization of society

The purpose of this study was to examine three fundamental concepts of globalization: geopolitical, socio-economic and ideological processes that led to the growth of world terrorism. The tasks of the study are to analyze both the positive and negative consequences occurring at the present stage, influenced by dynamic globalization processes and which have found their reflection on the development of society in a very multidimensional way. In particular, the study focuses on the impact of the active development of information systems, the liberalization of border regimes, the simplification of the cross-border movement of financial resources, the intensive desire of a number of States for the global and regional dissemination of their cultural and legal values, which have led to the development of international terrorism, as well as its qualitative transformation, when it has reached the world level within certain national borders. The most typical crime in these circumstances was transnational organized crime, which became the trigger for international terrorism. And it is noteworthy that global actors in this process acted in a hidden (latent) form. Conclusions: in the framework of the study, we conclude that the dynamics and concepts of globalization have not softened, but on the contrary, increased world inequality, creating additional opportunities for capitalist elites and, thereby, provoked the growth of international terrorism. And, apparently, its decline may be due to the curtailment of globalization processes, which today does not seem so incredible when the whole world has witnessed the crisis of neoliberals and the world capitalist system.
