World economic effects arising from the September 11, 2001 attacks
It is usually claimed that the September 11, 2001 attacks had immediate and far-ranging economic effects.
Nevertheless, it is convenient to discuss the effects of the attacks themselves and the effects of later actions by Western economies together.

 World political effects arising from the September 11, 2001 attacks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NATO activated Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949, declaring that if the terrorist attack received support by any state, it was an armed attack against the United States and hence was to be considered an armed attack against all the NATO member states.
In Australia, such a swing was the major factor in the return of the previously unpopular Howard government in the November 2001 election.
Across the Arab world, Arab government-sponsored newspapers were immediately filled with articles "proving" that the attack was actually carried out by "the Jews", "the Zionists", "the Israelis" and even "the Americans".

IMF assistant regional director for Asia Charles Adams said the global economic imbalances that became apparent before the September 11 attacks in the United States, rather than the attacks themselves, were the principal causes of the slowdown.
Adams said the effects of the attacks "are not insignificant but by and large they're probably not that large, if one looks at the global economy as a whole, and some of them are probably quite short lived".
He emphasised the world economy was much weaker than expected before the attacks and that the direct economic effects of the attacks were probably "relatively small".

 Essay, Michael Hudson, Copyright©2002 BRIIFS 4, 2
The attacks of 11 September 2001 shocked Americans into the realization that the global environment had indeed changed, not merely from the stable bipolarity of the old Cold War, but even from the apparently new and comfortable world defined by the globalization of everything from finance to culture under undisputed American hegemony.
Moreover, not only is it deepening the effects of the new American-dominated global order on the domestic and regional Arab scene, but it is also enhancing the reverse flow of influence from the region to the rest of the world, including the United States.
Consequently, political parties (other than the official ones sponsored by regimes) were weak, elections (when they occurred) were usually rubber-stamp affairs, and interest groups, labour unions and the like came under constant government surveillance and interference.

Specifically, insurance contracts in effect on September 11th contained a war exclusion; reinsurance contracts, in contrast, not only excluded coverage for acts of war, but in some cases, also excluded coverage for acts of terrorism.
Their respective facts are distinguishable from the events of September 11th, however, as they related to activities that we generally associate with – and history recognizes as – war.
Because it incurred billions in losses due to September 11th, the insurance industry may not be able to afford another huge payout of its capital reserves as the result of a catastrophic event – money more typically spent to compensate victims of natural disasters.

In May 2001, the FBI had already briefly considered opening an investigation upon one of the individuals named in the EC, but this was dropped when it was discovered he was out of the country at the time.
Whereas terrorist groups in the 1970s tended to focus upon achieving specific political goals or upon targeting specific individuals, often using the threat of violence as much as violence itself (e.g., in hostage-taking situations), modern terrorist groups are increasingly interested simply in annihilating their perceived enemies on as grand as scale as technologically feasible.

 IRMI - Attack on America: The Insurance Coverage Issues - Part 1
If the attack really could be classified as "an act of war" in the traditional sense, insurers could legitimately deny coverage for many types of claims.
In the wake of the recent attacks, it was obvious that any denial of claims based on the war risk exclusion would come with a hefty public relations price tag.
When considering insurance coverage for the events of September 11, by far the most important question is the applicability of war exclusions in the various property and liability policies that might be called on to respond.

 Rebuilding NYC - News - April 2004
The commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks is expected to offer sharp criticism of the Pentagon's domestic air-defense command in its final report, according to commission officials who said they believed that quicker military action might have prevented a hijacked passenger plane from crashing into the Pentagon itself.
The terrorist strikes of Sept. 11, 2001, could have been prevented had the United States government acted sooner to dismantle Al Qaeda and responded more quickly to other terrorist threats, the chairman of the commission investigating the attacks said today, even as the White House sought to dispel the notion that the attacks were avoidable.
The commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks said on Thursday that it was pressing the White House to explain why the Bush administration had blocked thousands of pages of classified foreign policy and counterterrorism documents from former President Bill Clinton's White House files from being turned over to the panel's investigators.

In his September 1 letter, Nahamya also said the waiver should cover the $1 million (U.S.) to Turner Broadcasting Systems (Europe), which was to implement the CNN project together with Terp.
“The political leadership has selected the two firms to provide specialised and professional services to the ministry in branding Uganda on the CNN as a way of attracting tourists to the country,” Nahamya wrote.“These firms are of international character with no known competitors and provide specialised services,” he added.
And though recently we have seen attacks by resurgent Somali "terror pirates" and are outraged by it - their motive is ideologically driven - fueled by reaction against the "hammer" of foreign policy-by-cruise missile during the Clinton years.

 UNCERTAIN IMPACT OF 11 SEPTEMBER EVENTS, SLOWING GLOBAL ECONOMY EXAMINED AS SECOND COMMITTEE OPENS GENERAL DEBATE
Opening the general debate of the Second Committee (Economic and Financial) this morning, Nitin Desai, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, said it was still premature to assess the impact of the 11 September terrorist attacks on the global economy.  However, there were already indications that the global economic slowdown was much deeper than expected.
Before 11 September, he said, industrial production was already falling and there had been a substantial downward movement in equity prices as well as a decrease in foreign direct investment (FDI).  The further impact of the attacks would depend on its effects on consumer confidence and capital flows between countries.
Concerns about globalization, he said, had also focused on the vulnerability of countries, which was essentially structural in nature.  Among the vulnerabilities were those arising from finance and investment, private capital flows, international liquidity, international trade and natural disasters.

The September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States and subsequent biological terrorism scares across the globe have led to speculation about whether the US might change its stance on the verification Protocol to the Biological and Chemical Weapons Convention.
Using the Sept. 11 attacks as its point of departure, this lengthy study examines the threat of an attack using chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction by both enemy states and hostile terrorist groups.
In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, this analysis notes, concerns like a government's record on respecting human rights, fighting corruption, foregoing nuclear weapons, supporting the rule of law and protecting the environment have been pushed aside to make way for the new anti-terrorist agenda.

Inflation was close to 5 percent in November, mainly driven by base-related effects and higher prices of alcoholic drinks and tobacco, which reflected the recent 3-5 percent increase in fiscal and excise duties on alcoholic drinks and cigarettes.
In an underlying sense, inflation continues to remain low, with the trimmed mean measure of inflation at 2 percent in November.
Women in both the indigenous Fijian and Indo-Fijian communities have functioned primarily in traditional roles; the percentage of women and minorities in government and politics does not correspond to their percentages of the population.

 EurasiaNet Eurasia Insight - SAUDI ECONOMIC WOES COULD HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR ANTI-TERRORISM CAMPAIGN
A variety of Saudis interviewed prior to the September 11 terrorist attacks were pessimistic about Saudi Arabia’s economic and political prospects.
This has had a ripple effect throughout the rest of the Saudi economy where there is also a scarcity of jobs—or, more precisely, the types of jobs that Saudis will accept.
A major consequences arising from widespread unemployment is a revival of regional or tribal identification, rather than identification with the broader community.

Dean employs the theory to explain why President Bush has seemed to be a different and better President since September 11 -- with his recent speech, press conference, and ground zero appearance far more effective than his performances in the three campaign debates.
Hamilton argues that it is hypocritical for liberals who, in the past, have favored wide executive discretion with respect to the environment and other policy areas, to now oppose the exercise of executive discretion to create the tribunals when the need for discretion in wartime is particularly great.
Hamilton argues that, to the contrary, the events of September 11 should convince Congress to draw a sharp line between the truly national concerns, such as bioterror preparedness, on which it should focus, and those concerns that can best be addressed on the State or local level.

The details of these effects will be topics for much future discussion, but now is not the time for law-enforcement ``wish lists'' or knee-jerk reactions, including many ideas that have been soundly rejected in the past and which have no greater value, and no fewer risks, than they did prior to September 11th.
