War, security and the liberal state / Vivenne Jabri - 2006
Modern war, especially as characterised by the "global war on terror" is described as a recent form of control. It shows the practices that constitute global war are best understood in terms of a matrix, incorporating states and their bureaucracies, as well as non-state agents, and targeting at once states, particular communities and individuals. The matrix of war operates in the name of humanity but it is humanity that becomes the subject of its attempts at global control. The paradox of using global control in the name of global freedom is addressed.
