Abstract: if capitalism is one of Europe’s greatest legacies to the world, another legacy is the nation-state, i.e. national realities that could be defined as nations at a given historical moment as the vast majority of their population essentially belonged to historically defined and homogeneous ethnic, cultural and linguistic groups. However, the surge in migratory flows that characterises the second modernity has added a new hallmark to nationalism: in the era of globalisation, migratory phenomena are inscribed within the framework of nation-states and are affected by the political-legal constraints of the territories that make immigrants appear as an anomaly in the world of nation-states.

Abstract: the paper proposes a historiographical reconstruction of the political-juridical arguments that justify tyrannicide in the contemporary age. After the late-Enlightenment and «romantic» approaches (§1), the essay retraces the key milestones of the itinerary from the anarchist matrices to the nationalistic claims of the nineteenth century (§§ 2-3) and to the complex dynamics of the «regicide» and dictatorship (§ 4) of the twentieth century, noting the tension between the political and legal dimensions in the approach to the question of the extreme phase of the ius resistendi (§ 5). Finally, is proposed a look at a recent past which questions the present day in a methodological key (§1).
