Gavin Rae offers an original approach to sovereign violence by looking at a wide range of thinkers, which he organises into three models. Benjamin, Schmitt, Arendt, Deleuze and Guattari form the radical-juridical perspective; Foucault and Agamben the biopolitical; Derrida the bio-juridical which Rae argues produces the most nuanced account.
Criticises the historically dominant classic-juridical model of sovereign violence and defends a bio-juridical model instead

Rae engages with new translations of ''The Beast and the Sovereign'' and ''The Death Penalty'' to show that Derrida offers a radical and alternative angle in which violence is placed between law and life, simultaneously creating and regulating each through the other.
