Summary/Abstract: The dimensions of the post World Trade Center international security recorded the retirement of the relations between the main centers of power, the fragmentation of the collective security mechanism, the limiting of the appeal to the international right, the emergence of the security model of self-defense based on a multiplied solidarity of states. The crisis of the international relations generated by the terrorist events from September 11th changed and tested the previous model of international security. Through the construction of the phenomenon emerged in the strategic environment after the fall of the World Trade Center towers and the attack upon the Pentagon alludes to Samuel Huntington’s theory regarding the clash of civilizations, whose conflicting reference is religion. The war paradigm between civilizations and religions doesn’t cover only the “clash” model between the state actors, as the model also extends upon the non-statehood (terrorist Islamist networks) or upon the minimal statehood (international terrorism). The beginning of a new millennium and of a new century generates new conditions for the manifestation of new aspects in theinternational politic in which the states’ security and the competition for the affirmation, for the consolidation and for the annexation of new centers of power has a significant place in the delimitation of evolutions in the field of security and world peace, contributing to the achievement of a new global order.
