ABSTRACT

Are these strategies leading to more secure order, or only securitizing everyday life to

accustom citizens to living on the minimal basis they appear to accept? They are unruly

wards protected by quasi-police state power, who permit the public to protest the conditions

of their confinement in advocacy networks within and across borders, but always remain at the

mercy of the same resilient power practitioners (Keck & Sikkink, 1998). Ironically, insurrec-

tionality serves multiple purposes; but, most importantly, its practices sustain resilient state

networks for ruling elites, and this link cultivates the expected outcomes-a barely passable

life for the masses trapped in shells of passivity, dependency, and inaction that remarkably

are regarded by far too many citizens, clients or consumers as the freedoms of insurrectional

agency.
