Abstract

Wars, as a planned rational act, are an extensión of politics, that nowadays, are present like an instrument to promise, no the perpertual peace, but democracy and freedom in certain regions of the world. In this work we are going to consider in the first place, the idea of wars without war in the XXI century, and how violence, from its vague rol between mean and end, reveals the plannification of its racionality. Then, we will revise the idea of biopolitics, which is probably insufficient for these times, where a theoretical shift towards the conceptualization called necropolitics is perceived
