Nicaragua and Agamben’s State of Exception: Misunderstood History and Current Crisis

Latin American Policy 10 (1):93-119 (2019)

Abstract

This article analyzes Giorgio Agamben’s state of exception and evaluates its implications for understanding the crisis in Nicaragua in 2018. The lens of exception fails to encourage critical questions about the complicated social and historical dynamics of Nicaragua’s contentious politics. Conflict transformation and global civil society could open a space for the social forces struggling to redefine state power and resolve the crisis.
