State, Security, and Subject Formation addresses the question of
how to secure the conditions for a civil and peaceful life
together. It brings together leading scholars to examine democracy
from two approaches: peaceful coexistence and the secular state as
public authority and the necessity of division between communities
of faith that allows for a state that defends the values of the
community. This book aims to understand the rationality that
informs both approaches, interpreting the subjectivities within
each.
To do so, the interdisciplinary, scholarly essays examine 17th
century political thought and how it is caught up in debate about
the relationship between faith and the state at a time when
religious wars are endemic and profoundly destructive. They also
provide an in-depth discussion of contemporary 21st and 20th
century approaches to the question of security and the issue of
subjective capacity for peaceful co-existence.
Civil Order and Politics is the outcome of an intensive
cross-disciplinary cooperation and, as such, not only demonstrates
the richness of relevant themes and issues, but also brings to the
fore challenges and problems associated with civil practice and
theorizing of politics. Through its thematic juxtaposition of
state, security, and subjectivity within the framework of civil
order and politics, the book fills a gap in the contemporary
political literature that will be of interest to anyone studying
and researching these issues.
