The main thesis of the article is that the maligneffects of globalization have considerably weakened nation states or draggedthem into a situation in which the security and stability would no longer besustained as desired. Global terrorism can stem from the adverse effects ofglobalization, imbalance of power, disparity of players, and power vacuum.Failed states, separatist minorities and radicals use terrorism as warfare inorder to counterbalance the power gap or to consolidate their authority. Inorder to verify/nullify the main thesis, we sought answers for three mainissues: consequences of globalization; influence of globalization on terrorism;and lessons learned from terrorism. Our study has come to a conclusion that themost reliable way to cope with the challenges of the new form of terrorism isto strengthen the nation state concept in democratic, laic, social and legal terms.
