Brad Evans is a political philosopher whose work primarily focuses on violence, and its outstanding effects on our world.

This political settlement would not have been put into operation if it were not for the security concerns that were the outcome of the tragic terrorist attack. It is clear that 9/11 affected the entire world, and evident that security policy was in for an immense adjustment
