!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] of a state and its strategic posture toward other states together form the inner and outer membrane of a state.
That membrane is secured by violence; without that [security], a [state] ceases to exist. What is distinctive about the State is the requirement that the violence it deploys on its behalf must be [legitimate|Legitimacy]; that is, it must be accepted within as a matter of law, and accepted without as an appropriate act of state sovereignty. [Legitimacy] must cloak the violence of the State, or the State ceases to be. [Legitimacy], however, is a matter of history and thus is subject to change as new events emerge from the future and new understandings reinterpret the past. ([Philip Bobbit])
