Reconnaissance Wars of the Planetary Frontierland

Universities of Leeds and Warsaw

The events of 11th September 2001 have many meanings. Although seen as a turning point in a number of historical sequences, perhaps their longest-lasting significance will prove to be that they mark the symbolic end to the era of space.. The article explores the consequences of this in terms of global space, which now becomes a new frontierland, where refugees, in a caricature of the new power elite, have come to epitomize extraterritoriality, and where floating coalitions and confluent enmities are both the promoters and beneficiaries of the new global disorder.

Key Words: era of space • extraterritoriality • new global disorder • reconnaissance battles • September 11th • terrorism
