The Dual State (eBook, PDF)

Parapolitics, Carl Schmitt and the National Security Complex
Redaktion: Wilson, Eric

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This volume presents a practical demonstration of the relevance of Carl Schmitt's thought to parapolitical studies, arguing that his constitutional theory is the one best suited to investing the 'deep state' with intellectual and doctrinal coherence. At the same time, the book also doubles as a thoroughgoing critique of Schmitt's intellectual legacy from a parapolitical perspective; namely, that the pluralistic, heterogeneous, and fragmentary nature of the parapolitical national security complex operates to subvert the total and monist notion of the State and of sovereignty that are central to Schmitt's constitutional enterprise.
