The essays in this volume take on the challenge of explaining the
current formation of the relation between sovereignty, law and
violence in what is termed ‘Democracy’s
Empire’.
- Contains a situated discussion of the institution of democracy
and related
juridico-political problems
- Examines the historical and philosophical legacies which inform
Democracy’s Empire – such as the Roman Republic, the
separation between Church and State in the enlightenment,
formations of revolutionary violence, and the relation between norm
and exception
- Poses the problem of violence and death at the heart of the
institution of democracy including examples such as South Africa
and Iraq
- Offers a mixture of historical and philosophical treatment of democracy as a juridical problem of constitutional violence
