Abstract

This paper seeks to serve as theoretical support for a study that is framed in contemporary political philosophy and critical theories of state violence. It approaches the concept of the state of emergency and presents the risks that states run in becoming police republics when governed by oligarchies. In order to argue the assertion, the republican State and democratic society are conceptualized with Jacques Rancière (2012). Then, the notions of the inability to foresee of governments and the State of Emergency, worked on by Mario Daniel Serrafero (2013), are dealt with. In a third moment, he resumes the concepts of reason of State with Friedrich Meinecke (1997) and the regulation of the use of violence and police operations starting from Walter Benjamin (2009) and Giorgio Agamben (2010).
