Product Details
ISBN: 9780745646480
Author: SCHMITT CARL
Now available in English for the first time, Dictatorship is Carl Schmitt’s most scholarly book and arguably a paradigm for his entire work.
Written shortly after the Russian Revolution and the First World War, Schmitt delves into:
- The problem of the state of emergency
- The power of the Reichspräsident in declaring it
Schmitt argues that dictatorship is not merely the arbitrary rule of a so-called dictator but rather a necessary legal institution in constitutional law.
Dictatorship is:
- An essential book for understanding the work of Carl Schmitt
- A major contribution to the modern theory of a democratic, constitutional state
Despite being written in the early part of the twentieth century, this work speaks with remarkable prescience to our contemporary political concerns.
