This volume seeks to explore the relationship between violence (its quantity, its varied forms, and its daunting consequences) in the post-9/11-War on Terror era and the contemporary status of critical political theorizing.
Debrix develops a model of tabloidized international relations, where responses are organized by and supportive of a strong centralized US government - focusing on the exploitation of insecurities caused by 9/11 manifested in the US tabloid media.
This book explains how biopolitical arguments, theories, and perspectives have attempted to understand how life itself is being captured within the field of politics.
