Terrorism in its current form (what has been seen at work on European soil, but not only there) is not a war of one state against another, but a phenomenon entirely internal to the state itself, which manages it with the means of management of the emergency rather than with the military and political instruments typical of armed conflicts. The emergency management of terrorism corresponds to the exercise of power through the terror that is typical of the modern state. Therefore terrorism and terror are imbricate, they intersect dialectically, entirely within the logic of modern sovereignty, which responds to the terrorist threat by its own citizens with the dispositive of exclusion-inclusion that is the characteristic of modern citizenship.
