Many people say that the world changed after 9/11 and that nothing is as it was. What does indeed appear true is that international politics has to change and come up with a new concept with new tasks and principles appropriate to the requirements of the situation.

This brief contribution aims to suggest an outline by tackling the transformation of the old concept of politics into a new politics, a politics adapted to the challenge thrown down by the events of 11 September 2001 that so shocked the world. A first draft of the tasks required will define the new principles on which these tasks are based, and will conclude with a short observation on the future political analysis of the university disciplines involved.
