A World Still Disfigured by 9/11

1 Sep 2021

Twenty years after September 11, 2001, we live in a world reshaped by America’s response to al-Qaeda’s attacks. The United States chased the impossible goal of absolute safety, overinvesting in security at the expense of every other dimension of policy. Today’s international order, like the United States’ crisis-ridden domestic politics, is the direct result of the ongoing “Global War on Terror.” Through many different phases since 2001, the United States has adapted everything from immigration policy to international alliances to fit its counterterrorism priorities.
