It analyzes the dimensions of globalization and discusses how global inequalities, identity crises, and state fragility contribute to terrorism. The study categorizes terrorism into ethnic-religious, state-sponsored, narco-terrorism, and cyber terrorism. It includes perspectives from the EU, UN, and UNODC, as well as state-level approaches from the USA, Turkey, Germany, Spain, and others. Case studies of terrorist organizations such as ASALA, PKK, YPG, PYD, and FETÖ are presented to understand the ethnic dimension targeting Turkey. The article also evaluates proxy wars, the Arab Spring, and the geopolitical role of superpowers in supporting terrorist organizations to maintain regional influence. Ultimately, the research emphasizes that without addressing the structural roots of terrorism tied to globalization, sustainable counterterrorism is not possible.}, number={5}, publisher={Hakan YILMAZ}
