Aside from transnational terrorism, one can point to the dark side of globalisation: inability to cope with global and environmental issues, massive illegal immigration, increasing poverty in many areas of the world and poor functioning of international financial markets.
In afara de terorismul international, se poate observa si o alta parte intunecata a globalizarii: incapacitatea de gestionarea chestiunilor globale si legate de mediu inconjurator, imigrarea ilegala pe scara larga, saracia in crestere in multe regiuni si proasta functionare a pietelor financiare internationale.
