Abstract

Ziua de 11 septembrie 2001, când islamiştii afiliaţi organizaţiei teroriste
Al Qa’ida au atacat clădiri simbol de pe teritoriul Statelor Unite ale Americii, a reprezentat un punct de inflexiune în istoria recentă a umanităţii. Impactul acestor atacuri depăşeşte cu mult alte evenimente contemporane, care au declanşat procese geopolitice de anvergură, precum Criza Suezului din 1956 sau Revoluţia Islamică din Iran din 1979. Dacă iniţial omenirea s-a aflat în stare de şoc, văzând cum superputerea momentului pare paralizată în faţa agresiunii unui duşman puţin cunoscut, ulterior, măsurile de securitate şi dinamicile geopolitice au răsturnat nu doar modul de viaţă de până atunci al populaţiei Terrei, ci şi paradigme, concepte strategice, comportamente politice. Articolul de faţă îşi propune să analizeze modul în care atacul orchestrat de fanaticii salafisti din Al Qa’ida a transformat şi continuă să transforme societatea şi dinamica geopolitică globală.
