| Summary: | September 11th 2001 is a date that represents an historic landmark in global politics.
This thesis seeks however, to establish whether it represents a point at which the longstanding Westphalian International era came to an end? This question is examined by
viewing the actions of both non-state actors and states in the post-9/11 global political
environment. By outlining the rules, laws and norms of the Westphalian International
period of global political affairs and then contrasting those system-forming points
against the global political reality that exists post-9/11, this study is able to conclude
that the contemporary global political environment is distinctly post-Westphalian.
The current era will be seen to be defined in direct opposition to the tenets of stateprimacy, sovereignty, autonomy and territoriality that form the basis of the
Westphalian era.
