Oxfam books & music lancaster according to political theory, the primary function of the modern state is to protect its citizens-both from each other and from external enemiesin this book paul dumouchel argues that this paradoxical reversal of the state's primary function into violence against its own members is not a mere accident but an ever-present possibility that is inscribed in the structure of the modern stateif they cannot-if we cannot-find enemies outside the state, they will find them insidehowever, this institution is today coming to an end, not in the sense that states are disappearing, but in the sense that they are increasingly failing to protect us from our own violencemodern states need enemies to exist and to persist, not because they are essentially evil but because modern politics constitutes a violent means of protecting us against our own violencesee oxfam website for delivery information read moreyet it is the states that essentially commit major forms of violence, such as genocides, ethnic cleansings, and large-scale massacres, against their own citizensthat is why the violent sacrifices that they ask from us, in wars and even in times of peace, have now become barren
