Ana Cavalieri: "The Afghanistan war and the Iraq war shook the confidence that wars could implement democracies"

SIC Notícias12 September 2026 at 15:20

Ana Cavalieri and João Maria Jonet analyzed, in an episode of the Elefante na Sala podcast, the lasting impact of the September 11, 2001 attacks, twenty-five years after the strikes. The discussion focused on the geopolitical and political consequences that shaped the world order in the following decades.

Ana Cavalieri noted that the Afghanistan war and the Iraq war shook the confidence that wars could implement democracies. This observation suggests a critical reflection on the limits of military intervention as a tool for political transformation.

The analysts examined how the attacks altered American and world politics, addressing the changes in security strategies and international relations that followed September 11. The Elefante na Sala podcast served as a platform for this retrospective analysis.

Why this matters

The article is of interest to Lusophone readers who want to understand how the September 11 events continue to shape global politics and to reflect on the lessons not learned from military interventions in the Middle East, affecting the perception of the efficacy of democracy by military means.
