What does it mean to say we live in a permanent state of emergency? Has international law played a role in producing or challenging the paradigm of normalised emergency? What are the juridical, political and social underpinnings of that framing?

It illustrates some of the particular colonial lineages that have shaped the state of emergency, and emphasises that contemporary formations of emergency governance are often better understood not as new or exceptional, but as part of an ongoing historical constellation of racialised emergency politics.
The book highlights the connections between emergency law and violence, and encourages alternative approaches to security discourse. It will appeal to scholars
