Abstract:

The worldwide 9/11 attack on September 11, 2001, had a massive impact on many countries’ security concerns. The incident significantly influenced the development of several government laws for regional and domestic policies against the danger of terrorism. The event signaled massive cooperation of powerful states to fight against global terrorism. This review determines the political impact of the 9/11 attack on the USA-Russia relationship in the aftermath of the attack. This work enables us to grasp how a global phenomenon influences states’ relationships with one another. The result found out that Russia and the USA developed close cooperation in counter-terrorism after the 9/11 incident. Russia saw the 9/11 attack as an opportunity to advance its foreign policy and develop a better relationship with the USA. The aftermath brought Russia and the USA long-term plans and cooperative actions to enhance regional security issues. However, their cooperation was limited and did not result in further diplomatic negotiation.
