International Relations and International Law continue to be
accented by epistemic violence by naturalizing a separation between
law and morality. What does such positivist juridical ethos make
possible when considering that both disciplines reify a secular
(immanent) ontology? International Law, Necropolitics, and Arab
Lives emphasizes that positivist jurisprudence (re)conquered Arabia
by subjugating Arab life to the power of death using extrajudicial
techniques of violence seeking the implementation of a "New Middle
East" that is no longer "resistant to Latin-European modernity",
but amenable to such exclusionary telos. The monograph goes beyond
the limited remonstration asserting that the problematique with
both disciplines is that they are primarily "Eurocentric". Rather,
the epistemic inquiry uncovers that legalizing necropower is
necessary for the temporal coherence of secular-modernity since a
humanitarian logic masks sovereignty inherently being
necropolitical by categorizing Arab-Islamic epistemology as an
internal-external enemy from which national(ist) citizenship must
be defended. This creates a sense of danger around which to unite
"modern" epistemology whilst reinforcing the purity of a particular
ontology at the expense of banning and de-humanizing a supposed
impure Arab refugee. This book will be of interest to graduate
students, scholars, and finally, practitioners of international
relations, political theory, philosophical theology, and
legal-theory.
