Abstract
After the cold war, the world’s security perspective underwent a
major change from the seeming stability of the bi-polar power
balance to a situation in which sub-national groups and
organizations particularly terrorist groups became able to
acquire weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). Since the mid
1990s terrorism has transformed into an inherently new
structure with new characteristics and now presents markedly
different challenges than traditional state-to-state security
threats. The concept of “new terrorism” is being used to justify a
“new” counter-terrorism war initiated by the United States in
2001.The aim of this paper is to develop an understanding of the
changing nature of war, new terrorism and the US - post 9/11
counter-terrorism strategy.
