Prerequisites and Trends of Modern Terrorism in the Context of Globalization

The purpose of this research was to study the impact of globalization on the prerequisites and trends of modern terrorism. Thus, one of the key aspects of such influence is illegal migration, which in a number of cases caused high-profile terrorist attacks. The objectives of the study are to analyze the causes of the emergence and spread of terrorist sentiment in modern society. It has been established that this unfavorable aspect is connected with the fact that migrants are hard to adapt to the new environment, and the environment itself mostly rejects them. Such a confrontation as a result of mutual distrust is gradually determined into hostility and conflicts. The indigenous population begins to cultivate the idea of increased criminality of visitors, and migrants - the idea of hostility and toxicity of the locals. Conclusions: illegal migration has become one of the main prerequisites for the free "transfer" of terrorist ideas, both within the country and among countries. And in this study, we considered migration as a factor determining modern terrorism. It was found out that migration processes, being the main factor of terrorism, are the main reason for the commission of terrorist acts, both against migrants and by the migrants themselves, since issues of a socio-economic, socio-psychological and organizational nature are acute in the interaction of communities unusual to each other. Thus, the factor of "unfavorable migration situation" is the driving force behind terrorism. Considering the low level of legal awareness of immigrants arriving on the territory of the Russian Federation, they do not even try to defuse the emerging conflicts, which they think will go unnoticed. However, ignorance of the law is not an excuse for criminal liability. And the main aspect of ignorance of the law, in our opinion, is the emergence of certain difficulties in the criminological prevention of terrorist crimes, since there is no mechanism for informing immigrants about the possible consequences of this or that behavior, which will subsequently be qualified as terrorism.
