Global Assemblages of Security Governance and Contemporary International Interve
Published: Jun 22, 2017 by Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding
Authors: Marc G. Doucet
This article draws from the concept of assemblages in order to examine the component parts of contemporary international interventions. It argues that in contrast mainstream analyses of statebuilding and peacebuilding, as well as more critical treatments that tie interventions to the concept of 'international order', the concept of assemblages offers a more compelling vantage point from which to examine the disparate lines of forces that make up modern-day interventions.
Sovereign Power and the Biopolitics of Human Security
Published: Jun 22, 2017 by Security Dialogue
Authors: Marc G. Doucet and Miguel de Larrinaga
This article examines the manner in which the human security discourse enables a dual exercise of sovereign power and biopower. Human security contributes to this dual exercise by con-ceptualizing a form of life rendered amenable to biopolitical technologies and rationalities while simultaneously defining the conditions of exceptionality that assist in sovereign power’s ability to authorize international interventions meant to secure human life.
