The term "globalisation" is used to describe a variety of economic, cultural, social, and political changes that have shaped the world over the past 50-odd years, from the much celebrated revolution in information technology to the diminishing of national and geo-political boundaries in an ever-expanding, transnational movement of goods, services, and capital. The increasing homogenisation of consumer tastes, the consolidation and expansion of corporate power, sharp increases in wealth and poverty, the "McDonaldisation" of food and culture, and the growing ubiquity of liberal democratic ideas are all, in one way or another, attributed to globalisation1.

Globalization thus brings new opportunities and challenges to citizens in states throughout the globe and makes resources available to actors in domestic political and social struggles. Thus far this quarter, through the readings and in lecture, we have explored the meaning of human rights and terrorism, the import and impact of state sovereignty and communication, the three generations of human rights and the five waves of terrorism and, the emergence of different types of human rights and terrorist organizations.
Discuss how human rights organizations and terrorist organizations respond to globalization and the changing understanding of human rights and terrorism (including the generations of rights and waves of terrorism) to challenge the behavior of states and the norms of the state system. Remember to discuss the paradox of sovereignty for both human rights and terrorist organizations and to explore how globalization influences these organizations' ability to interact with both domestic and global governments and publics.
