- Double-weighted statement
- This book is the product of seven years of sustained research effort. It engages with data, literatures, and debates across the fields of international law, religious studies, security studies, political theory, management studies, history, cultural studies, science and technology studies, media studies, and visual studies. Its central argument, that targeted killing is productive of broader logics underpinning contemporary forms of liberal governance required a risky and complex multi-layered process of investigation that explored a range of themes from different perspectives and in different contexts (from biblical times to the present).
