Abstract

The evolution in the international system from bipolarity to unipolarity has led to shifting patters of alliances in world politics. After 9/11, the United States has demonstrated a willingness to use its overwhelming military power to deal with potential or real threats. Contrary to its policy of embedded its power in the economic and security institutions of the post-1945 period, the United States increasingly views the multilateral order as an unreasonable restraint on the exercise of hegemonic power. What does this new context mean for Britain? Going back to 1997, the first New Labour government added an internationalist dimension to the traditional roles of acting as a loyal ally to the United States and serving as a bridge across the transatlantic divide. The Iraq war of 2003 showed that the bridge could not bear the weight of the disagreement between 'old Europe' and the new conservatives in Washington. As the transatlantic architecture came crashing down, the hopes of Old Labour internationalists came down with it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Subjects
*HUMAN rights, *SEPTEMBER 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001, *INTERNATIONAL law, *JURISDICTION, *RULE of law, *COUNTERTERRORISM laws, *NATIONAL security
Abstract

The article presents the author's insights on international human rights after the 9/11 terrorists attack in the U.S. and the recognition of the trends of behaviour and legal issues in the advocacy for human rights and peaceful resolution. The author mentions the designed and implemented agenda of the U.S. and Great Britain concerning a unified intent of regime change in Iraq. Moreover, he notes the displacement of human rights on three themes namely jurisdiction, attributability and applicable law, incorporating for instance Guantanamo Bay. He provides an extensive discussion of the three themes in the context of U.S. and Great Britain and asserts that the prevention of the recurrence of terrible violations calls for seriously taking the commitment to human rights and the rule of law.

3. THE REVIVAL OF THE PROPAGANDA STATE.

Author

Snow, Nancy and Taylor, Philip M.

Subjects
*CENSORSHIP, *DEMOCRACY, *PROPAGANDA, *DIPLOMACY, *SEPTEMBER 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001, *COMMUNICATION
Abstract

Events since 11 September 2001 have brought to light debates about the revival of public diplomacy and the role of propaganda in domestic and global communications. This article analyzes American strategies to manipulate information and to `manage the media against the backdrop of the ongoing war on terrorism and of the conflict in Iraq. It explores the problematic tension between democratic ideals and principles toward openness alongside government and military needs of operational security and to secure public support in a `war' that has been declared on global terrorism. This ongoing tension requires a genuine movement toward more open media and advocacy on the part of global citizens, including the strengthening of independent and non- corporate media, in order to challenge prevailing media that are subject to government and military influence. In a democracy, when things go wrong at home, it becomes much more difficult to project a positive image abroad. The impact of these trends in undermining the messages of public diplomacy overseas helps to explain both the success of US propaganda at home and its failure abroad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Author

Price, Lance

Subjects
*GOVERNMENTAL investigations, *IRAQ War, 2003-2011, *SEPTEMBER 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001
Abstract

The article discusses former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's much-anticipated appearance at a public inquiry on January 29, 2010, into Great Britain's role in the Iraq War. Specifically, Blair is expected to account for not only why he believed his country should enter the war, but when the decision to enter the war was made. The author states his belief that Blair had likely decided before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the U.S., that regime change in Iraq was necessary.
