ABSTRACT
Globalisation of neoliberalism has been legitimised by its positive consequences for many people around the world. Governing different countries based on the principle of neoliberalism is nowadays almost a religious imperative, presented as the only legitimate form of governance for all communities in the world. The term ‘global liberal governance’ is ‘substantially comprised of techniques that examine the detailed properties and dynamics of populations so that they can be better managed with respect to their many needs and life chances’ (Dillon and Reid, 2001: 41). However, global liberal governance is also a kind of governance where the ends legitimise the exercise of power – including the launching of wars.
