AB Part of a special issue on emerging imaginaries of regulation, control, and repression. The writers discuss the fact that there is little to objectively distinguish normal warfare and terrorism other than the level of power and legitimacy that state agents have over their less-powerful opponents. They argue that it it is concerning that it is the imaginary difference that is employed to justify “normal” warfare. They state that the two ways of committing evil as aspects of dehumanization are reciprocal perspectives that feed off each other and facilitate violence against other human beings.
