Overview
Essential for understanding post-Cold War international relations, US foreign policy shifts, the rise of non-state actors, and their impact on global security and human rights.
The 'War on Terror' refers to the global military, political, and ideological campaign launched by the United States and its allies after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, primarily aimed at combating international terrorism, particularly al-Qaeda and later ISIS. It marked a significant shift in global security paradigms and international relations.
