It is widely recognized that times of national emergency put
legality to its greatest test. In such times we rely on sovereign
power to rescue us, to hold the danger at bay. Yet that power can
and often does threaten the values of legality itself. Sovereignty,
Emergency, Legality examines law's complex relationship to
sovereign power and emergency conditions. It puts today's responses
to emergency in historical and institutional context, reminding
readers of the continuities and discontinuities in the ways
emergencies are framed and understood at different times and in
different situations. And, in all this, it suggests the need to be
less abstract in the way we discuss sovereignty, emergency, and
legality. This book concentrates on officials and the choices they
make in defining, anticipating, and responding to conditions of
emergency as well as the impact of their choices on embodied
subjects, whether citizen or stranger.
