The term \u003ci\u003eÉtat voyou\u003c\/i\u003e is the French equivalent of rogue state, and it is this outlaw designation of certain countries by the leading global powers that Derrida rigorously and exhaustively examines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerrida examines the history of the concept of sovereignty, engaging with the work of Bodin, Hobbes, Rousseau, Schmitt, and others. Against this background, he delineates his understanding of democracy to come, which he distinguishes clearly from any kind of regulating ideal or teleological horizon. The idea that democracy will always remain in the future is not a temporal notion. Rather, the phrase would name the coming of the unforeseeable other, the structure of an event beyond calculation and program. Derrida thus aligns this understanding of democracy with the logic he has worked \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eRogues\u003c\/i\u003e is Derrida's most sustained reflection on deconstruction's relation to political theory in general and to the idea of democracy in particular. . . . Highly recommended.\"—CHOICE\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It is clear that Derrida was keen that the idea of 'democracy to come' would be central to the legacy of his thought, and for those who choose to take up that burden, \u003ci\u003eRogues\u003c\/i\u003e will prove essential.\"—Times Literary Supplement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents  @toc4:Acknowledgments\tiii  Preface: Veni\tiii  @toc1:The Reason of the Strongest (Are there Rogue States?)  @toc2:1\tThe Free Wheel\t000  2\tLicense and Freedom: the roue\t000  3\tThe other of democracy, the \"by turns\": alternative and alternation\t000  4\tMastery and Measure\t000  5\tLiberty, Equality, Fraternity, or How Not to Speak in Mottos\t000  6\tThe Rogue that I Am\t000  7\tGod, What More Do I Have To Say?
