States of Emergency in Liberal Democracies
Lazar, Nomi Claire (Assistant Professor, University of Chicago)
In an emergency, statesmen concentrate power and suspend citizens' rights. This book shows that these emergency powers reflect a plurality of norms and of modes of power that are continuous between normalcy and emergency. Recognizing this shows how liberal-democratic values can remain in force, even in times of urgency.
