The Barren Sacrifice: An Essay on Political Violence - Studies in Violence, Mimesis & Culture
Paul Dumouchel
According to political theory, the primary function of the modern state is to protect its citizens. Yet it is the states that essentially commit major forms of violence against their own citizens. Paul Dumouchel argues that this paradox is not an accident but an ever-present possibility that is inscribed in the structure of the modern state.
