The September 11 terrorist attacks on America and the war in Afghanistan have prompted a host of responses from individuals, organizations, and governments around the world. For the Soros foundations network, the aftermath of September 11 has had a resounding impact in areas ranging from the protection of immigrants in the United States to the promotion of human rights in Uzbekistan.
This issue of OSN examines some of the key areas of concern that have emerged since September 11 to call attention to the importance of protecting and strengthening open society values in this time of crisis.
By including materials from the "After the Attacks" section of the Open Societies Foundations website, this issue of OSN also highlights the many ways the Soros network is helping the public understand the ramifications of September 11. In addition to essays and editorials by prominent open society advocates, the "After the Attacks" section on the web features forums and discussions with leading policymakers, experts, and activists. It also provides information about where and how people can get help in dealing with the sadness, anger, and confusion created by terrorism and war.
