The Global Migration Crisis: its effects on terrorism

Abstract

As globalization continues spreading , the risk of an increase in transnational crime becomes a greater reality. The purpose of this thesis is to study the relationship between the global migration crisis and its affects on terrorism. My main thesis is The Global Migration Crisis promotes the spread of terrorism. The dependent variable is terrorism. The independent variables are civil and foreign unrest, economic instability, and political insecurity that all bring about the opportunity of the Global Migration Crisis. As the Global Migration Crisis continues to expand throughout the world, transnational crime increases; thus providing a positive correlation between the two variables. Human trafficking and the refugee situation generally incorporate issues of transnational crime, such as drug and arms trafficking and terrorism. As human trafficking and refugee situations increase, the ability and elements needed to foster and promote transnational crime increases, particularly that of terrorism. Thus, if one wishes to reduce the occurrence and ability for terrorism, it is imperative to concentrate on reducing the elements that all it to spawn and exist.
