The Deep State between the (un)warranted CT and structural element of political regimes?

This paper tries to explain why the “deep state” is a good candidate for a research of conspiratorial knowledge as a field of contesting interpretations. Conceptually speaking, the “deep state” is considered as a sort of systemic, political arch-conspiracy, or the parapolitical structure organized for permanent conspiratorial enterprises. In that sense, it functions as a metaphorical umbrella for state conspiracies and includes many contested singular conspiracy theories. The purpose of the research is to explore differences in argumentation, provided basis for evidence-building and alternative explanations between different social agents who believe or not in such conspiracy theories. Based on these information, it would be possible to build a new research program to study warranted and unwarranted conspiracy theories.
