O 11 De Setembro E Os Cliches Transatlanticos

In: Relações internacionais: R:I, Issue 31

Abstract

This article analyses some expressions that spread around the world after the New York and Washington terrorist attacks, such as, "we are all Americans"; "the world changed after 9/11"; "the post-9/11" or "the 9/11 of...". Despite all these cliches could be analyzed with a wide range of dimensions, we use the transatlantic dimension, to conclude that the 9/11 events had changed some premises of the west liberal system and that other actors come in the international system organization.
