Review 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 Derridas bio-juridical approach offers an innovative perspective that avoids the problems that he diagnoses in Benjamin, Schmitt, Arendt, Agamben and other theorists.-- "Alan D.

Promotional "Headline" Critiques the historically dominant classic-juridical model of sovereign violence and defends a bio-juridical model instead Description for Reader Criticises the historically dominant classic-juridical model of sovereign violence and defends a bio-juridical model instead Works across the disciplines of critical theory, political theory, biopolitical theory, poststructuralism and deconstruction Develops three models - radical-juridical, biopolitical, and bio-juridical - to understand contemporary debates Situates current thinking in relation to the classic-juridical model, thereby linking contemporary debates to historical ones Moves beyond the dominant biopolitical model to a bio-juridical paradigm Gavin Rae offers an original approach to sovereign violence by looking at a wide range of thinkers, which he organises into three models. Benjamin, Schmitt, Arendt, Deleuze and Guattari form the radical-juridical perspective; Foucault and Agamben the biopolitical; Derrida the bio-juridical - which Rae argues produces the most nuanced account.
