What is The Decisionist Imagination : Sovereignty, Social Science, and Democracy in the 20Th Century about?

The Decisionist Imagination explores how “decisionism” emerged from its origins in prewar political theory to become an object of intense social scientific inquiry in the new intellectual and institutional landscapes of the postwar era.
