Description
Summary:If the Gulf War of 1990-91 was a 'defining moment'--one in which countries had to take sides--Sep 11 was a 'transforming moment': Not only was there an obligation to stand up and be counted, but with the advent of hyper-terrorism, the post-Cold War era itself came to an abrupt end. Heisbourg discusses changes accelerated by Sep 11: The death of old NATO; Europe's historical moment of truth; the Russian rapprochment with the West; and the Middle Eastern implosion.
