description <p>This thesis focuses on a specific political response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks: states explicitly linking their local counter-terrorism operations to President Bush’s Global War on Terror. Looking at two specific examples – Israel’s conduct during the Second Intifada and Russia’s response to the Second Chechen War – this study seeks to uncover which objectives the Israeli and Russian governments were pursuing in conflating local “terror” with the transnational Islamist terrorist threat the US set out to fight, and whether these were met. On a theoretical level, the study suggests additions to securitization theory in International Relations; in terms of foreign policy implications, the thesis sheds light on the post-9/11 dilemmas of US foreign policy making as well as the requirements for stable inter-state partnerships in the cooperation against nontraditional security threats.</p>
