Abstract :September 11, 2001 was a day that changed everything. In the wake of the attacks on New York and Washington optimistic vestiges of a decade-old hope for a New World Order vanished, rapidly replaced by a generalised sense of foreboding. Rather than order, the future suddenly seemed to promise a protracted, and extremely dangerous, time of disorder –an indefinite period during which an enemy who had already proved to be effective, elusive and possibly endemic in large parts of the world would threaten all that was familiar, comfortable and hopeful. A swirl of ominous events, ranging from the savage slaying of journalist Daniel Pearl and murderous attacks against French citizens in Pakistan to a spate of arrests of potential terrorists in Western Europe, Asia and the United States soon enhanced the unease. ‘Insecurity’ became the global watchword of the hour.
