Sažetak
At the beginning of the 18th century, Comte asked: "How is it possible to avoid chaos and achieve order through stability?" At the end of 20th century, we are facing civil wars, ethnic cleansing, poverty and world-wide forced migration, growing number of refugees of wars and growing numbers of displced persons. For the post-modern strategists, the question is still the same. The author finds that public health and then psychiatry have traditionally served as models for biopolitics. Nowdays the cure for "world pathology" is dearly the same as it was during the first and second demographic and pathology transition: using therapeutic spacing, isolation, enforced sequestration, "safe zones", "protected areas", and quarantines as tools for normalization of "deviant", "abnormal" and "sick" societes.
