Decrypting Power aims to reach a unifying concept that allows the
connection of the fundamental theses stemming from critical legal
studies, Subaltern studies, decolonization, law and society, global
political economy, critical geopolitics and theories of
de-coloniality. This volume proposes that this concept is the
'encryption of power', a category of analysis that reveals the
weakness of political liberalism when it takes the place of the
legitimate fundament of democracy, as well as its consummate
capacity to conceal new mechanisms of global power. The theory of
encryption of power understands that there is only a world where
difference exists as the fundamental and sole order, but also that
such a possibility is heavily obstructed by the concentration of
power in forms of oppression. The world hangs on the thread of this
entangled reality, made up of difference and its denial, of
democracy and its simulations, of truth and its codifications. The
decryption of power is then, above all, a theory of justice
essential to radical democracy, which comes fully-equipped to
prevail over the conditions that deny the possibility of an
egalitarian world.
