Abstract
Over the last two decades, international security has turned into a playing field for experiments in social engineering of all sorts. Under the guise of globalized risks, the states of the Western security community (Deutsch et al. 1957; Etzioni 1965; Adler/Barnett 1998) have attempted to shape social rules and institutionalized mechanisms of state domination elsewhere, more precisely the control and monopolization of violence.
