Abstract
As the events in New York City in September have shown all of us, it is important that there be an increased understanding among all sectors of society on the ways that the global economy can increase the risk of violence in the world and an examination of ways to avoid or diminish those risks of violence. A significant contributor to these risks is the perception among many that they do not benefit from the global economy, that they are exploited by it, and that global business--and symbols of global business, such as the World Trade Towers--are legitimate targets of violence. As Kofi Annan said at Davos in January 2001:
"[I]f we cannot make globalization work for all, in the end it will work for none. The unequal distribution of benefits, and the imbalances in global rule-making, which characterize globalization today... [will]unravel the open world economy that has been so painstakingly constructed over the course of the past half-century."
