Violent Non-State Actors in the Age of Globalization

Abstract

This study analyses the impact of globalization on the rise of violent non-state actors (VNSAs) and their role in current conflicts. It argues that globalization has fundamentally altered the nature of wars by facilitating VNSAs and reshaping the international security landscape. While the globalization process provides VNSAs with access to transnational networks, financing and influence, the immediate factors, particularly in the Middle East, such as state failure, territorial claims and regional rivalry contribute to this phenomenon. Thereby, VNSAs increase transnational security threats and challenge traditional state authority. On the other hand, globalization has transformed conflict dynamics and VNSAs have taken part in new forms of alliances. In this way, the relations between states and VNSAs have become more prevalent and more complicated in the post-Cold War era. To support its arguments, this study primarily relies on academic literature, empirical case examples, reports, and statistical data from conflict databases. It provides insights into the growing effect of VNSAs on global security and their engagement with state actors and makes a contribution to contemporary international relations and security studies.
