On Tuesday Former Minister Dr. Abdullah Oweidat delivered a lecture to scholars in the 22nd Defense Course and the 8th Master's Program in Strategies for Countering Extremism and Terrorism at the Royal Jordanian National Defense College

 The lecture was titled "The Economic, Political, and Cultural Impacts of Globalization: The Jordanian Case." The lecture was attended by the Commandant, the Chairman, and members of the directing staff.

During the lecture, he spoke about the concept of globalization and its aim to unify economic, intellectual, and social activities into a single global format without taking into account religious, cultural, social, or ethnic differences. This has led to negative economic, political, and social impacts that threaten national security, especially in developing countries.

He explained that the most prominent of these negative impacts are poverty, unemployment, the collapse of emerging economies, the disintegration of the social fabric, and the impact on values ​​and traditions.

He emphasized that there are many positives to globalization, and that governments must work to regulate its pace to serve national interests and goals.
