"Security has become a defining feature of contemporary public discourse, permeating the so-called 'war on terror', problems of everyday crime and disorder, the reconstruction of 'weak' or 'failed' states and the dramatic renaissance of the private security industry. But what does it mean for individuals to be secure, and what is the relationship between security and the practices of the modern state? In this timely and important book, I ..."

"The book sets out to examine some of the key features of what we describe as the paradox of constitutionalism: whether those who have the authority to make a constitution - the 'constituent power' - can do so without effectively surrendering that authority to the institutional sites of power 'constituted' by the constitutional form they enact.

"... it makes a point about the logic at the heart of lawmaking. This logic is
representational: the law claims to express—represent—a pre-legal unity.
Returning to our question about hypostasis, the theory and practice of democracy
are constantly in danger of reifying the people because this danger is rooted in
representation itself. In effect, what seems more obvious than that the people, as
a unity, exists independently of its le ..."
