About this eTextbook
. States of Exception or Exceptional States Law, Politics and Giorgio Agamben in the Middle East This book explores the application of the work of the philosopher Giorgio Agamben to the post-Arab Uprisings in the Middle East, considering the evolution of regime-society relations that ultimately erupted in violence in the early months of 2011. Agamben's ideas of the state of exception and bare life provide important intellectual tools to understand the nature of sovereignty and the regulation of life, which has largely been missing in the study of the region.
Filling a theoretical and empirical gap by exploring the concept of the ‘state of exception' via a multidisciplinary approach, Simon Mabon, Sanaa Alsarghali and contributors in the fields of political science, law and philosophy offer a unique set of perspectives analysing how politics and law combine to facilitate the misuse of executive powers. States of Exception or Exceptional States: Law, Politics and Giorgio Agamben in the Middle East 1st Edition and published by I.B. Tauris & Co Ltd.
