There have been many intended and unintended consequences of what the U.S. government calls the War on Terrorism. They include: a crackdown on dissidents in Malaysia, a stronger U.S. foothold in the oil-rich Caspian Sea region, and, around the world, widespread questioning of U.S. commitment to the rule of international law. On this program we take a look at these three examples, drawing on reports produced during our special series “Beyond Headlines.”
