WORLD in CHANGE- the new trends - • globalisation and interdependence increasing • information and communication systems create a new public consciousness & worldwide reactions • scarceness of natural resources lead to intense competition, increase importance of science & technology - education, research & adaption of • environmental concerns and impacts gain weight • global interaction and growing entanglement of cultures create change in societies and structures • instead of existential threats - instability & risks

  3. ASPECTS OF GLOBALISATION Worldwide Net of Communication & Info - worldwide availability of knowledge & info -new chances to influence world society Economy:world trade = “inland market” new mobility of capital, goods, services Society: the world as “global village” - migration + the importance of cultures and identities Security threatened by new dangers - increase of private violence - “new wars” - grey zone: security internal/ external - terrorism Political: reduced importance of the nation states - deficiencies of the world order - open insight into governance and markets

RISKS & DANGERS • Political instability - failed states - bad governance • ethnic/cultural/religious controversies over values, norms and order, power and influence • Risks & dangers of private (non-state) nature - terror - organized crime - weak authorities • high poor/rich gradient - social tensions authoritarian regimes - rigid suppression • traditional conflicts about territorial questions and interests controversies, resources • proliferation of weapons of mass destruction

  8. NEW WARS • increasing asymmetries between conflict parties • unique capabilities of the USA for intervention • “show of force” by new regional powers • failed states - growing autonomy of organizations capable of using force - increase in violence • decrease of traditional wars between states - increase of civil wars between groups (ethnic/religious) • “privatization of force” - rules and limitations not respected - warlord system & piracy • terrorism and the use of the media
