Theoretical underpinnings
Premodern sovereignty
Mandate from Heaven. Divine right of Kings. Right by inheritance.
The break from premodern sovereignty
Mercantile banks of Italy. Challengers of premodern rulers by change in material conditions. 'Paradise Lost' by John Milton. Hegelian/Zizekian concept of the fall.
Machiavelli and Us, by Luis Althusser.
Enlightenment and the Universal state. Open societies.
Malign sovereignty - The so called tyranny and authoritarianism
After this break, it was no longer politically viable to go back to old forms of sovereignty in the eyes of liberalism.
The term is also meant to invoke a critique of the established view on tyranny.
Draconic law. Julius Caesar, book by Parenti.
Dialectic between oligarchy and tyrant. Cultural revolution. The red terror.
