Globalization and Insecurity: Reviewing Some Basic Issues

Abstract
Concepts like Thomas Friedman’s ‘‘hidden fist’’ and Martin Wolf’s ‘‘jurisdictional integration’’ are rarely, if ever, invoked in economic analyses of trade and globalization. That is not surprising given that such analyses are based on — or at least are intellectually inspired by — models of trade in which concerns about security and governance are completely absent. However, while abstracting from security concerns might be analytically convenient, in practice many goods that are traded internationally or are important inputs in the production of tradeable goods—oil, diamonds, land, water resources—are subject to contestation, either domestically by rival groups or internationally by different countries.
