"Gavin Rae here offers a welcome addition to the philosophical literature on a topic - sovereignty and its relation to violence - that is at the cutting edge of contemporary scholarship in a variety of fields. After carefully articulating several 20th century theorists' challenges to a law-based model of sovereignty, Rae argues that Derrida's 'bio-juridical' approach offers an innovative perspective that avoids the problems that he diagnoses in Benjamin, Schmitt, Arendt, Agamben and other theorists.-- ""Alan D.
