Globalization offers both opportunities and threats, influencing political, economic, and social spheres worldwide. While its everyday manifestations are often seen as natural, they result from political decisions by governments and legislative bodies, with the decline of sovereign states' roles leaving a gap in legitimate global authority. The creation of global democracy risks reflecting the dominance of a few international powers, but the political processes shaping globalization remain crucial to democratic systems. In terms of global security, a system based on international law is essential, focusing on disarmament, environmental protection, and combating terrorism, while also addressing issues like ethnopolitical conflicts. The current crisis in international relations, marked by divergent views and the rise of proxy and hybrid wars, calls for the establishment of new rules and global structures that can better reflect the complexities of a rapidly changing world. Globalization, Global Security, and New International Realities for Modern Democracies explores the complex and interconnected forces shaping the modern world, focusing on globalization, global security, and the evolving dynamics of international relations. It examines how globalization, driven by political decisions and technological advancements, reshapes economies, societies, and cultures while creating new challenges related to sovereignty, democracy, and governance. This book covers topics such as geopolitics, global business, policymaking, and is a useful resource for business owners, government officials, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and political scientists.
