Abstract

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 ushered in a period of profound change in global politics, revealing new threats and creating fresh opportunities for international cooperation. The priorities and preoccupations of US leaders and the US public shifted dramatically in the ensuing months. The Bush administration's attention shifted fundamentally and understandably focused primarily on the global campaign against terrorism, necessarily relegating other issues, including the future of Sino-American relations, to the sidelines. While the impact of September 11 has been less dramatic in Europe and Asia, the reorientation of US policy has had worldwide repercussions, prompting a strategic realignment between Russia and the West and concerted cooperation to thwart future terrorist attacks.KeywordsForeign PolicyInternational Criminal CourtGlobalizing WorldBush AdministrationUnited Nations Security CouncilThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
