• Introduction -- The Repression of the Death Drive: The State's Seizure of the Psychic Economy -- A Diplomatic Frameing of Violence -- The Return of the Repressed: The Sacralization of Interstate Violence -- The Globalization of Non-state Violence -- Conclusion -- Glossary -- Sel.

• This book focuses on the current, chaotic world stage, which is characterized by new forms of global violence and new types of actors, such as terrorist networks. Based on interdisciplinary analysis combining political science and psychoanalysis, history and political philosophy, it delves down to the deepest roots of this process of the globalization of non-state violence and offers a new framework for understanding it. The first part of the book addresses the construction of the State and the process of civilization, while the second explains why this process is now being bypassed by processes of brutalization in the form of communitarianism and extreme hate, as well as series of mass murders on a widespread basis. .
