Yet the attention of the world has been focused, over the past few months, on a couple of buildings in a single city in a single country, the United States, where a handful of people are making decisions which will have more influence, in the short term at least, over the future than the actions of billions of other inhabitants of the globe. The decision to attack is not being made in Jakarta or Warsaw or even London, but in Washington DC. In what sense, then, are we seeing a 'decentred apparatus of rule'? In no sense at all, I would suggest. The apparatus of rule is no more being decentred than the nation state called the US is fading away.
