1. This week we were asked to discuss what the implications were of globalization on homeland security. Globalization is the international integration of markets for goods, services, and capital. Globalization has allowed for countries to trade and communicate in ways they never could before and faster than ever before. This does lead to complication when it comes to national security. The United States has been one of the leading technology and economic produces within the world. It is targeted by adversaries because of its strengths in these areas. Globalization has lead to cyberspace crimes, intellectual property theft, and attacks on critical infrastructures. While it has made life simpler it has created a huge target upon the United States. Jobs, goods, technology have been diminished because they are being produced in other countries for a cheaper price. (Lewis, 2004) Terrorist organizations have been utilizing the advancements in cyberspace and communication to their advantages by being able to reach and train individuals virtually without bringing them to their training camps. This makes conducting business less visible and keeps them from being detected. They can also use the internet and social media to spread propaganda and their messages are open for anyone to see at any time. This causes major security concerns because of the steady increase of homegrown extremists and lone wolf actors. While globalization has brought people together it has also opened the door to those who wish harm upon the United States.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Good afternoon Professor and Classmates, For this week’s question, we were asked to identify what the implications of globalization on homeland security are. Globalization is multifaceted and includes IT (information technologies) as well as other tech, stateside and global trading, and interdependencies. These are not all inclusive, however, the evolution of globalization has the ability for us here in the United States to achieve economic prosperity, sharing of political freedom, and promoting peace. Meanwhile, the implications which are produced from globalization include social divides, critical vulnerabilities, and conflicts including violence. Globalization can create numerous implications for us here in the United States. It was interesting to find out from the readings how it is believed that our national security is becoming more concentrated, centralized, and consolidated across three dimensions. These three dimensions are power across spheres, power across jurisdictions, and power within any government agency. Furthermore, power across jurisdictions (public-private, federal-state, and Intra-agency) is where I will focus as there was some interesting information I discovered during my readings. The public-private relationships have created a bond where if this relationship became limited, this would affect what the government knows and be limited to information as well as increasing the workload. There are some things the private sector can do which the public sector cannot do and vice versa. The private sector can meet the globalization demands increasing national security, intel, and homeland security operations. Therefore, implications arise when either the private or public sector cannot assist due to certain laws restricting them. Federal-state entities assist with homeland security operations globally. All together federal, state, and local sectors combine to form what is known as a fusion center. These fusion centers are a relatively newer concept of operations which also incur implications. Communication flaws, interagency information sharing, and independent operations impact overall missions. A hierarchy of personnel in charge is defined which helps alleviate issues such as these. Lastly, intra-agency is unique as it is a consolidated national security entity that falls in any one government agency. The implication of inter-agencies is the apprehension of information sharing, competition like environment, as well as antagonistic towards others and/or goals. Intra-agency operations actually work quite well thanks to those who fully support the mission.
