A '''malign sovereign''' | A '''malign sovereign''' is a sovereign (an individual or statesperson) which establishes their own sovereignty at the expense of a higher power. A malign sovereignty is a state which is seen as illegitimate ''in the eyes of the modern universal state''. | ||
A malign sovereignty is a schism following the fall of traditional sovereignty, the schism being between malign sovereignty itself and the modern universal state. Modern subjectivity represents the edge of modern politics, over which spills malign sovereignty. It is the ''excess'' beyond the bounds of political modernity. | A malign sovereignty is a schism following the fall of traditional sovereignty, the schism being between malign sovereignty itself and the modern universal state.
