A política externa dos Estados Unidos no pós-Guerra Fria : do combate ao terrorismo à exportação de democracia

Abstract

The end of the bipolar period brought changes to the world order and also to the United States, which obtained the position of sole superpower in the international system. Through a bibliographical review, in this work, we will discuss the US foreign policy in the post-Cold War, focusing on the George W. Bush administration and its strategy to combat terrorism after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001. Over three chapters, in addition to the introduction and final considerations, we will seek to understand if September 11 and the military intervention in Iraq in 2003 served as a basis for the creation of a new enemy and the use of democracy promotion as a way of to destroy it.
