Nohrstedt and Rune Ottosen Summary This volume presents a practical demonstration of the relevance of Carl Schmitt's thought to parapolitical studies, arguing that his constitutional theory is the one best suited to investing the 'deep state' with intellectual and doctrinal coherence. Critiquing Schmitt's work from a variety of intellectual perspectives, the chapters discuss current parapolitical reality within the domain of criminology, the parapolitical nature of both the dual state and the national security state corporate complex. Using the USA is a prime example of the world's current dual or 'deep political state', the criminogenic dimensions of the parapolitical systems of post 9/11 America is are discussed. Using case studies, the dual state is examined as the causal factor of inexplicable parapolitical events within both the developed and developing world, including Sweden, Canada, Italy, Turkey, and Africa Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Schmitt, Carl, 1888-1985 -- Political and social views Schmitt, Carl, 1888-1985 -- Influence SUBJECT Schmitt, Carl, 1888-1985 fast Subject State, The -- History -- 20th century State, The -- History -- 21st century Political science -- History -- 20th century Political science -- History -- 21st century World politics -- 1989- POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Essays.
