Read the passage given below and answer the question based on it, ranging from 71 to 75

In the first part of the twenty-first century, therefore, despite important changes taking place in world politics, the traditional ambiguity about international security remains. In some ways the world is a much safer place to live in as a result of the end of the cold war and the removal of nuclear confrontation as a central element in East West relations. It can be argued that some of the processes of globalization and the generally cooperative effects of international institutions have played an important part in dampening down some of the competitive aspects of the security dilemma between states. These trends, however, are offset to a significant extent, as the continuing turmoil in the middle east, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the subsequent 'war on terror', demonstrate. It is evident that military force continues to be an important arbiter of disputes both between and particularly within states, as well as a weapon used by terrorist movements who reject the status quo. Also, conventional arms races continue in different regions of the world. Nuclear, chemical and biological weapons still exert a powerful influence on the security calculations of many states; crazy and ambitious politicians remain at the head of some governments; and cultural differences, as well as diverse values and the tensions inherent in globalization itself, prevent the emergence of global agreement on a wide range of important issues. Water resources, food, and energy are potential sources of conflict, and it remains unclear how great power relations will develop in the years ahead, as geo-political and geo-strategic changes unfold. At a time of uncertainty and anxiety, individual and societal insecurity is increasingly evident as the forces of fragmentation and integration associated with globalization destabilize traditional identities and thereby complicate relationships within and between states.
As a result, it would be difficult to conclude that a paradigmatic shift towards a more peaceful world is taking place in international politics and global security in the aftermath of the cold war, or indeed that such a permanent shift is possible. The empirical historical evidence as well as contemporary events suggest caution. Periods of more cooperative inter-state (and inter- group) relations have often in the past led to a false dawn and an unwarranted euphoria that 'perpetual peace' was about to break out. The structure of the international system, particular kinds of political systems, human nature, and the forces of globalization impose important constraints on the way that individuals, states, or international institutions behave. So does the continuing predominance of realist attitudes towards international and global security among many of the world's political leaders.

71. Which one among the following is not the impact of globalization on security

The processes of globalization have played a significant role in dampening some of the security dilemmas.

Functions of the state are integrated into international institutions at different levels.

The phenomenon of 'thinking globally and acting locally' is imminent.

Traditional ambiguity about international security is no more discernible.

72. Military force continues to be an important arbiter of disputes between and particularly within states, because

Military force has the ability to coerce any entity.

It also possesses the ability to influence any entity.

Conventional arms are being developed or procured for national security purposes.

All of the above elements are valid to justify the primacy of military force, along with the powerful influence of NBC weapons.

73. The future geo-political and geo-strategic environment is largely shaped by which of the following

Diverse values and tensions inherent in the processes of globalization prevent the emergency of global agreement on many issues.

Water resources, food, and energy are potential sources of conflict.

Individual and societal security challenges are on the increase.

All of the above factors are valid to understand the parameters of geo-strategic and geo-political dimensions of security discourse.

74. The paradigm shift towards a more peaceful world is not seen conclusively because of following

The empirical historical evidences give little credence to paradigmatic shift.

Remnants of cold war are not over.

Contemporary events don't suggest the criteria of permanent peace.

All of the above mentioned factors combined are inflicting uncertainty for perpetual peace.

75. The conditions of international and global security are under constant pressure that are exerted by

The structure of international system

Forces of globalization

Human nature and individual values

By all of them mentioned above
