Case Study

The 2002 US National Security Strategy was published in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and constitutes the most coherent statement of the rationale behind the “war on terror”. The document outlined a particular understanding of post-Cold War international relations which had profound implications for sovereignty; in particular the document challenged the notion of sovereign equality and the laws governing the use of force against sovereign states. From our perspective in 2015 the document comes at a mid-point in the post-Cold War era and thus – in addition to the controversy and debate it inspired – constitutes an important juncture in the evolution of sovereignty.
