| Summary: |
The new wars and the clash of civilizations are two theoretical approaches to the current international
order. This article attempts to contrast these two proposals: on the one hand, terrorism, which reappears
in the international scene after 9/11/2001, and on the other hand, the language of the war depicted
in the discourses of President George Bush. The conclusions arrived at are, first, that the tactics used
to fight terrorism denote wars for territory aimed at identifying the enemy in States or blocks of States
as �axis of evil� and spread the violence indistinctively within these territories, and second, that the
identification of terrorism from an opposition of concepts, differentiating the existence of a certain
�us� represented by the West from �them� opposing it, produces and reproduces the confrontation. |
