Resumen: El artículo pretende una discusión con la idea de sociedad de control, en el marco de un análisis biopolítico. Para ello propone un doble juego. Por una parte, explicitar las dificultades de tal categoría en las propuestas de Hardt, Negri y Deleuze; y en segundo lugar, releer tales propuestas a partir del análisis del neoliberalismo, propuesto por Foucault. La hipótesis básica es que las indecisiones y dificultades de tal categoría, muestran la necesidad de reconducir el análisis biopolítico a la lógica del diagrama, es decir, del análisis del presente como superposición de dispositivos disciplinarios e interfases de regulación. Palabras clave: Sociedad de control mundial – Sociedad disciplinaria – Gubernamentalidad – Razón gubernamental - Biopolítica Abstract: This article attempts a discussion with the idea of society of control, as part of a biopolitical analysis. He advocates a double game. On the one hand, explain the difficulties of such category in the proposed Hardt, Negri and Deleuze, and second, re-read these discussions from the analysis of neoliberalism, proposed by Foucault. The basic hypothesis is that the indecisions and difficulties that category, show the need to redefine the bio-political analysis to the logic of the diagram, ie the analysis of this as a superposition of disciplinary devices and control interfaces.

"When states' survival is at stake, do states behave according to norms, do states refrain from using certain weapons based on norms against their use? Adachi presents a comprehensive analytical framework for analysing norm dynamics, incorporating the existing literature, while expanding the norm life cycle model to address contestation of, resistance to diffusion of, and disappearance of norms. He also examines the changing nature of international society, and how the evolving characteristics of this society change how norms are shared. His focus is on norms relating to the use and non-use of weapons, with examples of how norms developed in different places and at different times with regard to particular types of weapons. From the banning of gun use in Japan under Bushido, to international bans on chemical weapons and the foundation of norms on nuclear weapons, he looks not only at how such norms come about, but how they can become contested or disappear. A valuable contribution to the literature on norms in International Relations, this volume will be of particular interest to scholars and students with an interest in the control of arms"--

There is a striking analogy between the problem of inflation control & the problem of arms control. Inflation is a disease of the price system in much the same way as the arms race is a disease of the threat system. In the price system it is only relative prices that are signif. Similarly, in the `organized threat system,' as represented by the the armed forces of the world, it is the relative sizes of these armed forces, & the relative threats which they represent to each other & to the people who pay for them, which constitute the essence of the system. It is only relative strength that is signif. The hope for disarmament arises because it is clear that after an arms race has proceeded for some time, every nation participating in it would be better off absolutely & would not be much changed in relative position if the mean/average amount spent on armed forces were very much reduced, as long as the distribution of the reduction is carefully arranged. The US is suffering from an enormous inflation of the defense system which has increased nobody's relative security, & has diminished everybody's absolute welfare. The role of the U's, both in the smaller problem of bargaining for arms control & disarmament agreements & in the larger problem of establishing a stable peace, is likely to crucial. A major task is that of understanding the world soc system & esp its immensely complex dynamic processes. S. Schwartz.

What criminal legislation is doing throughout our region is to take an absolutely repressive tinge, with a total ineffectiveness against real problems; It simply sells illusions that through laws and aggravation of penalties the problems are solved, it naturally does not solve anything. They are witnessing a new idolatry, due to the inability of the political establishment to resolve conflicts, which do not care to solve them, but to sell the impression or feeling that they are solved, all this driven by the mass media (Mediatic criminology), which construct the criminal issue through vindictive, repressive speeches, criminal stereotypes and systematic repetition of violent news, showing only social risks, homicides and common crimes, hiding other real dangers that threaten the population, causing Moral panic in society and the acceptance of police controls. ; La legislación penal en toda nuestra región toma un tinte absolutamente represivo frente a los problemas reales; se cree que a través de leyes y agravamiento de penas se resolverán los problemas, naturalmente no resuelven nada, es decir, se muestra la incapacidad del estamento político para resolver conflictos, dando la sensación de resolverlos. Todo esto impulsado por los medios masivos de comunicación social (criminología mediática) que construyen la cuestión criminal mediante discursos vindicativos, represivos, estereotipos criminales y repetición sistemática de noticias violentas, mostrando como únicos riesgos sociales los homicidios y delitos comunes, ocultando otro tipo de peligros reales que amenazan a la población. Esto trae como consecuencia el pánico moral en la sociedad y la aceptación de controles policiales.
