The attacks on the World Trade Center and the ensuing War on Terror stand as
images that mark the 21st century's fall into a permanent state of
emergency, manifest in the suspension of civil liberties, preemptive and
irregular warfare, and a disregard for international law. As we now
recognize, other precarious potentials such as financial speculation and
climate change have long been gaining momentum, erupting into acute states
of crisis in the recent past. The tumultuous beginning of the new century
has heightened our sensitivity to exceptional states and emerging
instabilities, questioning the applicability of established modes of
control.
States of emergency magnify pre-existing lines of conflict, shaping
clear-cut enemy images. These may vary from Al-Qaeda to brokers on Wall
Street or multinational enterprises, to name but a few. But times of crisis
also demand new forms of agency for the emergence of new orders. If the US
is indeed part of a world community, does a permanent state of emergenc(e)y
become the new basis of governance and politics?

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
