Abstract

Carl Schmitt first talked about the idea of a state of exception, or Ausnahmezustand, in the 1920s. It takes the form of a state of emergency, but it is built on the sovereign's power to suspend the rule of law for the common good. Ukraine is going through the hardest test of its survival since it has been a unitary republic, which it is now, since 1991. This study is a way to set the stage for a discussion about its future once rule of law is in place.”The Concept of the Political” and “Political Theology” are two of Carl Schmitt’s most important works. Based on 3 sentences of pivotal importance from the 2 aforementioned works which can be used as postulates,we set up a framework for an analysis.
