The author tries to requalify the concept of violence under the influences of a context of world globalization. International crisis, drug traffic, collapse of the socialist governments, concepts of development and under-development, terrorism, political and religious sectarisms, new culture and social conceptualizations, these are some of the themes which are discussed by the author with the objective to propose a new pardigm for violence.
