Globalization has increased economic interdependence between countries while also highlighting shared global problems. It is difficult for governments to regulate issues like the international drug trade due to factors like poverty, war, lack of resources, and differing laws across borders. Transnational corporations (TNCs) often have immense power but also face challenges, as shown through examples like the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Bhopal gas disaster caused by Union Carbide, and tensions between Shell and local communities in Nigeria. Terrorism is sometimes viewed as a legitimate response to perceived injustices, though democratic societies remain at higher risk. International organizations play important roles in addressing economic migration, human rights, and other global issues.
