The effects of contemporary American cinema on the legal & political ideologies of state sovereignty are studied. An analysis of Australian & US responses to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks revealed two contradictory processes within the ideologies of state sovereignty; whereas states have attempted to expand their influence beyond their national borders, efforts have been made to solidify national boundaries. In addition, states' attempts to prevent terrorist attacks have led to increased domestic surveillance; this augmented internal scrutiny of a national citizenry is delineated as a form of sovereign contempt for the law. This emergence of sovereign contempt for the law within states that perceive themselves as targets for terrorist violence is also located in several contemporary American films, most notably Edward Zwick's The Siege (1998) & John Moore's Behind Enemy Lines (2001). The implications of this confluence of state sovereignty & biopolitics for future relations between the law & the state are also pondered. 8 References. J. W. Parker
