Item Restricted Analysing the Impact of Terrorism on International Relations and Foreign Policies: Case of terror attacks in USA and India(saudi digital library, 2025) Alsughayyir, Awaleed Mohammad; hough, peterThe research examines the aftermath of major terrorist attacks in the United States (9/11) and India (26/11), focusing on how these events reshaped foreign policies, national security frameworks, immigration systems, and international relations. A qualitative methodology was used to analyse how terrorism influences global diplomatic behaviour, security reforms, and the rise of extremism. The study engages with major International Relations theories such as realism, liberalism, and constructivism to interpret state responses. Findings show that both nations experienced significant changes in internal security systems, political rhetoric, majoritarian narratives, and international counterterrorism strategies. India adopted evidence-based diplomacy and strengthened multilateral cooperation, while the United States pursued forceful military interventions and global counterterror alliances. Both countries tightened immigration policies and enhanced surveillance mechanisms, demonstrating how terrorism continues to shape national and international policy decisions.17 0
