| Summary/Abstract |
In this article, the author examines the relationship between economic globalization and international security. The author discusses the increasingly interconnected nature of national economies in the 21st century and argues against dominant thinking that states that the large majority of global trade is based in water shipping. The importance of information flow and systems to the success of trade and transportation is explained. It is argued that the nature of the world economy, largely characterized by bilateral trade agreements, can lead to disruptions in supply chains
