Saul Newman

"For those on the left who despair about the ongoing power of neoliberalism, Saul Newman offers a powerful insight. Whereas older models of resistance are based on revolution and opposition to the state, Newman notes that the state is no longer the key problem of our time. Postanarchism is his response; it is based on autonomy, insurrection and the recuperation of politics. This book is critical for those who wish to think and act beyond our contemporary condition."
James Martel, San Francisco State University

Carl Schmitt

"A remarkable achievement…Nunan's excellent introduction makes clear the painfully compelling relevance of these essays on sovereignty, enmity and empire for contemporary audiences--relevance that is not likely to diminish over the course of time."
John McCormick, University of Chicago

"Despite his flawed normative and political aspirations, Schmitt's views provide a provocative challenge those of us committed to strengthening international law and global governance simply have to take up."
William E. Scheuerman, Indiana University

Rainer Forst, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main

Paul Gilbert, University of Hull

Steven P. Lee, Hobart and William Smith Colleges
