Description: This book contains a demonstration of the relevance of Carl Schmitt's thought to parapolitical studies, arguing that his constitutional theory is the one best suited to investing the 'deep state' with intellectual and doctrinal coherence. It examines the dual state as the causal factor of inexplicable parapolitical events within the developed and developing world.
