Article: The Problem of Emergency in the American Supreme Court
Just published: Emily Hartz (University of Southern Denmark) and Rasmus Ugilt (Aarhus University, Denmark), "The Problem of Emergency in the American Supreme Court" ("Law and Critique", 22 [3], November 2011: pp. 295-316).
Quote: "Sixty years before Carl Schmitt wrote his Political Theology, and more than a 100 years before President Bush announced a 'war on terrorism' the American Supreme Court grappled with the difficult issue of emergency powers in connection with issues arising out of the American Civil War (1861-1865). ... This article engages the theoretical framework of Locke, Schmitt and Agamben in order to come to a better understanding of this important set of cases."
