I. A) GLOBALIZATION resume
Globaliation had been -i*en a series of definitions in time. ,ll of the definitions -i*en
dri*e to the same meanin- and ex0ress the same 0ur0ose/ , nation between nations"
united b( all means" at all le*els s0eakin-! the same e)onomi)" )ommer)ial" 0oliti)al"
)ultural" histori)al and -eo-ra0hi)al lan-ua-e.
5e-ardin- the e)onomi) as0e)ts" -lobaliation rea)hed its 0ur0ose in terms of )a0ital
restri)tions" finan)ial and )urren)( markets" international trade and also the -lobal
market.
Globaliation im0a)t at the so)ial le*el has brou-ht a series of )han-es in -lobal
e)onom(+ a real )hallen-e at the -lobal )om0etition le*el and also marked 0o0ulation in
terms of so)ial transformation and dislo)ation.
3he old idea of national so*erei-nt(! and also the new -lobal e)onomi) order are
sub6e)t of Globaliation in 0oliti)al terms.
3alkin- about -lobaliation and )ulture" we ma( think that )han-es brou-ht forward b(
-lobaliation ma( not be so bad. 7e ma( 6ud-e it in a 0ositi*e manner ha*in- in *iew
the in)reasin- similarit( in lifest(le around the world" but we mustn8t )lose our e(es
when it )omes about the lo-i)al )onse.uen)es of ethno)entri) nationalism" that is
ri*alr(" interne)ine warfare" and" ultimatel(" -eno)ide.
,n(wa(" Globaliation8s tenden)( is to 0romote an alto-ether more desirable state of
affairs and to brin- u0 all the o00ortunities it offers for in)reasin- the -eneral le*el of

B) INTERNATIONAL CRIMES resume
9owada(s" there are man( new t(0es of international )rime : terrorism" human
traffi)kin-" dru- traffi)kin-" and )ontraband smu--lin-" in*ol*in- serious *iolen)e and
0h(si)al harm.
3here also exist t(0es of )rime that don8t re.uire -uns to )ause ma6or dama-e/ fraud"
extortion" )orru0tion" mone( launderin-" intelle)tual 0ro0ert( theft and )ounterfeitin-.
3he s0read of information te)hnolo-( )reated new )ate-ories of )(ber)rime.
3he most re0resentati*e forms of international )rimes remain 3errorism! and Mone(
;aunderin-!.
3errorism! a)ts )onsist of elements of warfare" 0oliti)s and 0ro0a-anda and it is *er(
im0ortant to know that terrorist or-aniations are small due to la)k of 0o0ular su00ort
whi)h makes their dete)tion and infiltration diffi)ult.
3hou-h" the issues behind terrorism are usuall( national or re-ional" its im0a)t is
international.
%omesti) terrorism! )an8t be left behind as this has s0ill-o*er effe)ts into other
)ountries and linka-es with forei-n terrorist -rou0s are not un)ommon.
3he im0a)t of terrorism has been felt all o*er as terrorist hide amon- emi-rant
%ias0oras and refu-ee )ommunities" bein- sometimes en-a-ed in illi)it smu--lin- of
dru-s and wea0ons.
,s re-ards Mone( ;aunderin-8" we )an link it to the finan)ial as0e)ts of )rimes.
<b*iousl(" the onl( moti*ation of the )riminals is thou-ht to be the 0rofit and their -reed
dri*es them to ille-al -ain of mone(.
1*en if it doesn8t sound too )riminal! its im0a)t has de*astatin- so)ial )onse.uen)es.
It 0ro*ides the fuel for dru- dealers" terrorists" arms dealers and so on.
$riminals be)ome -reat mani0ulators of the finan)ial market throu-h their ille-al
a)ti*ities. 3hese illi)it a)ti*ities destabilie 0oliti)al and e)onomi) reform" unbalan)in-

C. DEMANDS OF HUMAN SOLIDARITY resume
7hen it )omes about human solidarit( we immediatel( think about the e.uitable
distribution of resour)es su)h as/ land" 0h(si)al resour)es" )a0ital" skills" knowled-e
and te)hnolo-(" without takin- into a))ount that humanit( has a lot of work to do in
