Description

Explore the fundamental nature of power with The Politics of Nothing: On Sovereignty. Published by Routledge, this academic work investigates what happens to the political realm when sovereignty is de-ontologised. By unmasking the nothingness at the center of sovereign claims, the text provides a deep look into how political structures function when their core is laid bare. This book engages with the productive potential of nothingness through the lens of critical thinkers in political theology. Readers will find rigorous analysis drawing on the works of influential figures such as Schmitt, Agamben, Nancy, Blanchot, and Paulhan. It offers a way to reconsider political frameworks by looking at deep intellectual histories and carving out new trajectories for thought. Ideal for students, scholars, and readers interested in international law, political theology, and political theory, this volume provides a serious examination of how sovereignty is constructed and understood. It moves beyond traditional definitions to ask what the political becomes when viewed through the frame of the nothing.
