Late modern wars are legitimised through invocations of humanity;
variously the rescue and protection of populations, the re-shaping
of entire societies, and the re-constitution of the sphere of the
international into a pacified cosmopolitan arena. Drawing on
critical social and political thought, this book explores the
implications of this legitimisation. It argues that these wars,
often referred to as 'liberal', extend forms of exclusion and
domination that make war a tool of control now articulated in
global terms. In highlighting the domination of contemporary
politics by discourses and practices that blur distinctions between
war and peace, the international and the human, Jabri points to the
dangers that lie at the heart of such practices. These dangers have
implications not only for the liberal democratic state, but for the
emergence of a global sphere of interaction based on mutual
recognition.
