Abstract
The al-Qaeda attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, was a crime against humanity and a challenge to U.S. hegemonic leadership and the entire post—World War II political order. Although the “war on terror” has replaced the once-familiar Cold War confrontation between communism and capitalism, the discourse and the power behind the war on terror mask a larger political process underfoot in global politics. Thus, this volume seeks to unsettle the predominance of the war on terror lens through which much of the post—Cold War international relations have been cast since September 11. There are many actors on the global stage competing for power and authority—some of them using punitive means, others consensual. Global capitalism, global civil society, global governance institutions and organizations, and a wide range of “illicit” networks—ranging from al-Qaeda to drug smugglers and human traffickers—present a bewildering array of stakeholders that variously confront and collaborate with one another using different strategies of power. Among the questions that must be asked are, on this crowded global stage, who is in charge of what, how do they stay in charge, and what are the effects of their strategic maneuvers?
