It is unique in its examination of the historical and political links between social security and national security and in its assessment of the way that emergency powers (as the most intense realisation of the rhetoric of 'national security') have been synthesised with 'normal' law. Among other ideas and concepts, Mark Neocleous discusses the place of security in the liberal tradition of political theory. Building on insights from Foucault and Marx, he argues that liberalism's central category is not liberty, but security. He also deals with the role of security in justifying the introduction and continuation of emergency powers through a historical excavation of the state of emergency, a political reading of the way emergency powers are only tangentially concerned with warfare, and a theoretical reading of the debate between Schmitt and Benjamin. Key Features Makes original use of diverse historical materials concerning the question of security Provides a distinctive account of theoretical debates about security within the tradition of social and political theory Gives a genuinely interdisciplinary account of security, moving between political thought, history, sociology, and law Presents the first fully-fledged critique of security. 606 $aNational security$xPolitical aspects 606 $aSocial control 606 $aLiberalism 606 $aState, The 606 $aSecurity, International 615 0$aNational security$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aSocial control. 615 0$aLiberalism. 615 0$aState, The. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 676 $a355.03 700 $aNeocleous$b Mark$f1964-$01519409 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782245603321 996 $aCritique of security$93757492 997 $aUNINA
