Filling a theoretical and empirical gap by exploring the concept of the 'state of exception' via a multidisciplinary approach, Simon Mabon, Sanaa Alsarghali and contributors in the fields of political science, law and philosophy offer a unique set of perspectives analysing how politics and law combine to facilitate the misuse of executive powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimon Mabon \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of International Politics at Lancaster University, UK, where he directs SEPAD and the Richardson Institute.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSanaa Alsarghali\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Constitutional Law at An-Najaj National University, Palestine, where she is the Director of the Constitutional Studies Center. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdel Ruished\u003c\/b\u003e is PhD Researcher in Politics and International Relations in the Department of Philosophy, Politics and Religion, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Lancaster University, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 February 2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI.B.
