Sacralized domination gets institutionalized into constitutional and legal ethnic privilege

Evidence

What should be kept in mind, as most of the contributions in this volume point out, is that political governance institutionalizes and constitutionalizes the ethnic privileges, with some differences determined by the particular domestic context and global politics of tolerance. The institutionalization of privileges produces new rationalities, technologies of control, as well as specific subjectivities that are conducive to this type of governance. — Nadim N. Rouhana and Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, When Politics Are Sacralized, 142
