Within Germany, Carl Schmitt's status as a political thinker is on a par with Machiavelli and Hobbes. In this study the author seeks to apply Schmitt's thought to modern times as well as extrapolate possibilities for the future.

Trade Review
'Cristi's interpretation...represents the best discussion of Schmitt's political theory in the English-speaking world to date...Contrary to the prevalent tendancy to impute a substantive and unbroken continuity in Schmitt's work, always anti-liberal, reactionary and anti-democrat, Cristi brilliantly illuminates its development, changes and shifting allegiances revealing its consistent animating tensions.' Philosophy and Social Criticism.
