Globalization and modernization have been linked with outbreaks of terrorism as groups disadvantaged by a changing world react in violence. An analysis of linkages between globalization and terrorism, based on two global databases, indicates that countries more affected by global impacts suffered from more terrorism in the 1970s and 1980s. In later decades, the relationships became more complex and more difficult to interpret. There is a possibility that there was a threshold effect in operation. This article will note the correlations, both positive and negative, between globalization and terrorism, and will discuss how causal forces were likely to have produced the correlations. Particular emphasis is placed on sub-Saharan Africa. Adapted from the source document.

In the current era of political globalization, States maintain their traditional role of protagonist in the international (human rights) system. At the same time, however, they are expected to devise instruments that will maximise their ability to adapt to the needs of an effective protection of human rights due to the 'present-day conditions.' Indeed, if one pauses to refl ect on the increasing diversity of international actors and consider 'international law in her infi nite variety,' the question is whether the international human rights regime of today is in fact different today from that of previous eras. In pondering the interplay between international (global) politics and international human rights law, the article suggests – in terms of challenges – a reconsideration of State (positive) obligations pursuant to the nature circulaire of international human rights protection.

En la era actual de globalización política, los Gobiernos mantienen su función tradicional de protagonistas en el sistema internacional (de derechos humanos). Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, se espera que conciban instrumentos que potencien al máximo su capacidad para adaptarse a las necesidades de una protección efectiva de los derechos humanos debido a las «condiciones actuales». En verdad, si uno se para a reflexionar acerca de la cada vez mayor diversidad de actores internacionales y a considerar «la ley internacional en su variedad infinita», la cuestión es si el régimen internacional de derechos humanos de hoy en día es en realidad diferente hoy del de épocas anteriores. Al considerar la interacción entre la política (global) internacional y la ley internacional de derechos humanos, el artículo propone —en términos de desafíos— una reconsideración de las obligaciones (positivas) del Gobierno de conformidad con la naturaleza circular de la protección internacional de los derechos humanos.Publicación en línea: 11 diciembre 2017
