People typically associate terrorists with regional stability. As a result of the demands that
the environment and several other factors, including industrialization, have imposed on
governments, world security has developed. the growing Cold War hostilities following the
Soviet annexation of Afghanistan, the divisive rhetoric of the Clinton Years, and the aggressive
deployment of troops. Although competing military alliances including imposing nuclear
arsenals and sizable conventional armies still exist, these look weirdly out of date in the
emerging new world politics period. From this vantage point, the international security agenda
aimed at combating the issues of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
may be seen as a part of an effort to maintain America's overwhelming edge in the conventional
domain by restricting the where with everyone else. The underpinning worry is that as
employment, production, and innovation shift elsewhere and the economic growth begins to
restructure and integrate itself, economic globalization will weaken America (Lewis, 2004).
There is little question that violence fueled by racial or religious hate is not a new phenomena.
Nowadays, however, it is frequently linked to the deterioration of established political power
structures brought on by the expansion of information technology as well as the dissolution of
old economic institutions in the wake of growing global trade. The massive flow of refugees
crossing borders and concerns about global security are also brought up by this sort of violence.
The globalization of concepts and equipment unquestionably makes it simpler for nations
and even marginalized groups to produce the most lethal weapons. The current state of affairs in
Russia and Ukraine poses a serious threat to international security. The globe is reevaluating its
relationship with these two nations in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The biggest worry
for the globe is the nuclear threat to the nations if their countries directly assist Ukraine.
