According to security elites, revolutions in information, transport, and weapons technologies have shrunk the world, leaving the United States and its allies more vulnerable than ever to violent threats like terrorism or cyberwar. As a result, they practice responses driven by fear: theories of falling dominoes, hysteria in place of sober debate, and an embrace of preemptive war to tame a chaotic world. Patrick Porter challenges these ideas. In The Global Village Myth, he disputes globalism's claims and the outcomes that so often waste blood and treasure in the pursuit of an unattainable "total" security. Porter reexamines the notion of the endangered global village by examining Al-Qaeda's global guerilla movement, military tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and drones and cyberwar, two technologies often used by globalists to support their views. His critique exposes the folly of disastrous wars and the loss of civil liberties resulting from the globalist enterprise. Showing that technology expands rather than shrinks strategic space, Porter offers an alternative outlook to lead policymakers toward more sensible responses—and a wiser, more sustainable grand strategy.

Cultural Writing. Before September 11, globalization and the threat from weapons of mass destruction were the greatest challenges the world faced. Now we must add the problem of global terrorism. Dan Plesch, Senior Research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defense Studies and founder of the British American Security Council, was often seen on the BBC and CNN following the attacks. His theoretical and practical experience is evident in this important and timely pamphlet: he makes a powerful, cogent, and radical analysis of the relationship between globalization, the weapons trade, weapons of mass destruction and terrorism (all in the light of US security strategies), and also presents a group of specific policy measures as a solution to the daunting problems facing the world.

In the long trek of human history, the adage that there will never be peace among the nations until there is peace among the religions has never been truer. The growing trend toward spiritually inspired violence throughout the emerging global village of the twenty-first century has taken a terrible toll on the lives of thousands of innocent victims. The primary purpose of this book is to address this issue head-on by examining the role that the earth's diverse faith communities can play in stopping the needless hatreds and hostilities that all too often arise from the search for spiritual fulfillment. At this stage of human evolution, nothing is more urgent.

For good or for ill, amongst all the current scientifically known solar planets of the universe, the earth is the only habitable planet. This planet-earth-has incredibly changed. On the one hand, everything on it has been or is being globalized, including terrorism. Our world has concretely become a true "global village." That is why it is now possible for more people than ever to collaborate and compete in real time with more people on more different kinds of work from more different corners of the planet and on a more equal footing than at any previous time in the history of humankind (Friedman, 2003). Put another way, the invention of computers, e-mail, networks, teleconferencing, social media, and dynamic new software have all made it possible for those of us living in the 21st century to achieve so much more than many generations before us. On the other hand, the 21st century is witnessing a situation whereby a whole new group of angry, frustrated and humiliated men and women seek to destroy the rest of us.
