Neomedievalism, Neoconservatism, and the War on Terror

More about the book

Exploring the concept of neomedievalism, this book critiques President Bush's controversial comparison of antiterrorism measures to a "crusade." It delves into how neomedievalism influences modern political dynamics, particularly in the context of the Bush administration's torture memos. The analysis reveals how these memos invoke feudal sovereignty to justify the erosion of human rights, highlighting the intersection of historical concepts and contemporary governance.
