Conclusion: Globalization, Political Violence and Security

  • Christopher W. Hughes
Chapter

Abstract

Globalization’s complicity in the generation of international security issues clearly demands academic and policy investigation. For sure, there have been a number of initial studies that have attempted to link the effects of globalization with insecurity (Clark 1999;Cha 2000;Hughes 2001, 2002;Kaldor 1999;Coker 2002;Scholte 2000: 279–315). This volume has now added to this emerging literature by providing key insights into the ‘globalization-political violence-security nexus’ from the pioneering and interdisciplinary perspective of translation studies. The objective of this concluding chapter is to offer some further political science/international relations takes on the interlinkages between globalization and political violence, and to consider some areas of crossover with translation studies as revealed in this volume.
