The Fifth Political Theory and Countering Terrorism in the Post 9/11 Era

Abstract

This paper is going to explain about the Fifth Political Theory that challenges all existing three plus one (Capitalism, Marxism and Fascism + Fourth Political Theory) theories. It says, “it is human ambiance evolve any political system to survive instead of borrowing other imported thoughts to live in a specific environment, in which Legitimacy leads to authority and promotes humanism.” According to this theory no other state is allowed to dictate or install any political system upon other states. It is the born right of individuals to choose a political system or a set of values that is going to make their structures and functions efficient enough to support the system harmony and counter the negative forces successfully. In the post 9/11 era, it is observed that all existing theories like Capitalism, Marxism, Fascism and Fourth Political Theory remained unsuccessful in resolving the global crises. The so called war against terrorism is proved as war for terrorism and creates a vacuum at the global stage, worsening the crises. The fifth political theory is an answer to counter terrorism in the twenty first century. It calls for accountability of the United Nations for its failure in sustaining peace at global level. Therefore, the UN charter is supposed to be implemented in its true letter and spirit. All independent sovereign states have right to evolve their own system to carry out a political system that suit them best for sustaining harmony at home. This is the only way to counter terrorism. This paper is comprised of mixed method. Qualitative, quantitative and comparative methods will be used along with secondary sources. The objective of this paper is to create knowledge for the benefit of human beings with a logical and rationale argument. It will help political scientists and scholars in conflict management and countering terrorism on pragmatic grounds.
