In this episode of .think atlantic, IRI’s Thibault Muzergues is joined by Marc Hecker to discuss the 20thanniversary of 9/11 and the War on Terrorism. Marc Hecker is the Director of Research and Development at IFRI – the French Institute of International Relations – and Editor-in-Chief of the French academic journal Politique étrangère. He taught at Sciences Po for several years on terrorism and asymmetric wars and is the author of the recently published book La Guerre de 20 ans: Djihadisme et contre-terrorisme au XXIe siècle. His expertise on terrorism, the “Twenry Years War”, and international affairs directs the episode’s discussion. Has there been any success in counterterrorism, now that the Taliban has control of Afghanistan? Will there ever be an end to jihadists’ power? Did Western allies miss counterterrorism opportunities during the Arab Spring? Have drones redefined modern warfare? Are there similar terrorism threats outside of the Middle East theatre? Is the transatlantic relationship a collateral victim to the war on terror? Thibault and his guest discuss all these questions – and much more.
