Global Governance of Terrorism and Transnational Organized Crimes: Challenges and Complexities
Abstract
In today’s world, it is hard to mention domestic problems due to globalization. Besides, technological improvements provide new opportunities such as accessibility and social media. Under these circumstances, terrorist groups easily make propaganda to seek support and mobilise their followers against states. Since the 9/11, terrorism is being discussed heavily and continuously. Unilateral actions against terrorism make global governance more complicated as legitimacy is ignored and no consensus occurs. Terrorism and transnational organised crimes have many aspects that must be analysed to understand contemporary global issues. In the case of authority gaps, international organisations have to take action to create a solution. Otherwise, new terrorist organisations might emerge from conflictual areas and transnational organised crimes can fund their illegal activities. Although the United Nations (UN) is supposed to be mainly responsible for solving global problems, it is hard to say that UN bodies generate respectable solutions on global issues including terrorism and organised crimes. Furthermore, there is no clear definition of terrorism which enables sovereign states to interpret terrorism and terrorist groups according to their interests. Generally, states tend to be part of the problem rather than being part of the solution. Thus, global governance faces severe challenges in managing conflicts. This article focuses on these challenges.
