The
terrorist attacks on the United States on 11 September 2001 have
dramatically altered the world’s perceptions of security and of the
nature of security threats. These events – and the world response to
them – have led many analysts to question whether or not this is the
beginning of a new world order, one in which the traditional conduct of
international relations must be fundamentally altered in response to
the rise of a powerful but hidden enemy.
This volume examines the implications of the events of September 11 from a variety of perspectives – economic, political, social, cultural and religious. The authors have looked back over the events of the months following the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, and in so doing have sought to seek a way forward for a global system that has been so dramatically challenged. Even as the war in Afghanistan has drawn to a close, the war on terror is far from over. It will have to be fought on the political and socio-economic fronts as well as by military action. The full impact of the events of September 11 has yet to be realised.
A collaboration between the South African Institute of International Affairs, the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies.
