Book excerpt: At a time when international headlines have moved on to depict the travails of a global pandemic and the reemergence of Great Power rivalry, this introductory volume of Legacies of 9/11 and the Global War on Terror highlights the subtle ways the war on terror continues to shape our future, coursing through our social relations, political language, and engagements with technology. Ranging from conceptual reflections on ideology, religion, politics, and surveillance to case studies of nations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, the essays have been organized into seven general categories: Muslim Networks, Counterinsurgency Strategies, Knowledge and Cultural Production, Capital Flows and Patronage Networks, Rise of Authoritarianism, Semantics and the Language of Terror, and Islamism and Internationalism. It is intended that these categories guide the reader in situating the variegated legacies of 9/11 and the Global War on Terror into more manageable areas of inquiry and exploration.
