Despite an end to the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the renewal of Great Power politics, and intervening international crises like COVID-19 and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the legacies of the Global War on Terror continue to surround us at the macroscopic and granular level. They are both forest and trees. Don’t zoom out far enough and you’ll take for granted just how normalized they have become in shaping our polities. Don’t look close enough and you’ll miss the minutiae ingrained in our everyday conversations and transactions. From the way the Global War on Terror has impacted our language, culture, and politics to the ways it has shaped ideas about national security, terrorism, and foreign policy, the legacies of the Global War on Terror continue to impact our world today. Established in 2021, on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the 9/11 Legacies Project seeks to narrate, map, and analyze the many forgotten, marginalized, and misunderstood phenomena unleashed by the Global War on Terror. The 9/11 Legacies Project receives support from Strategy 21, the Czech Academy of Sciences.
