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 0Item Restricted FOREIGN POLICY REORIENTATION FROM GLOBALIZATION TO NATIONALISM(West Virginia University, 2024-05-03) Asiri, Abdullah; Hagan, JoeThis dissertation explores the foreign policy implications of the post-2010 resurgence of nationalism in the U.S., Europe, and other parts of the world. It explores the reorientation of foreign policy away from globalization and the post-Cold War expectations that include a rules-based order, the spread of democracy and human rights, and the free movement of capital, products, people, and information. Instead, the emerging nationalist foreign policies emphasize independence and national sovereignty, economic self-sufficiency and protectionism, and antidemocracy and universal values. These policies are also characterized in terms of limited and unilateral engagement and proneness to conflict and confrontation. This dissertation characterizes this reorientation as a domestic-driven deviation that was triggered by systemic shocks including terrorist attacks, military interventions, regional conflicts and uprisings, and global and regional economic crises. Domestically, this reorientation was driven by domestic pressure that manifested in terms of increasing public and elite criticism of globalization and its foreign policy expressions. It was also driven by the rise of nationalist leaders who functioned as activating agents and a vehicle through which systemic shocks and domestic pressure have factored into the reorientation of foreign policy towards nationalism. This dissertation explores the reorientation of foreign policy toward nationalism across political systems including a presidential system (The United States of America), a parliamentary democracy (The United Kingdom), and a single-party authoritarianism (The People’s Republic of China).35 0
