Abstract:

The paper represents a philosophical and political debate over the dilemma to what degree have been truly redefined the old concept of sovereignty, and if there is a newly-established postmodern balance between security and liberty. The Hobbesian dictum that the state’s fundamental task is providing security for its citizens is the focal point through which the author analyses the issues related to state terror and terrorism, as well as the use of violence for regime’s protection or change. Behind the arguments about the alleged epochal novelties, the author discovers few changes when it comes to preservation of power relations and balancing between security and freedom. Human rights are most often sacrified for the sake of another (allegedly higher)good. Under the circumstances of the global war on terrorism, state’s penetration and reduction of human rights become more evident, while the use of force gets new form of legitimation. In this context special emphasis is put on the role of religion and media.
