About 12. The New World Order and the War Against Global Terrorism

After the Cold War ended, hopes for a peaceful “new world order” based on liberal democracy and international cooperation were quickly challenged by ethnic conflicts, rogue states, and the rise of transnational terrorist networks. The September 11, 2001 attacks fundamentally shifted global priorities toward counterterrorism, leading to military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq and expanded surveillance and security measures worldwide.

This era revealed the limits of unilateral power and the complexity of fighting non-state actors in an interconnected world. While terrorism remains a persistent threat, the focus has gradually broadened to include cybersecurity, pandemics, climate change, and great-power competition, showing that global security now encompasses far more than traditional military concerns.
