Answer
**State power is the primary focus of Giorgio Agamben's concept of "indifference."** Agamben argues that the modern state increasingly asserts its power by creating and maintaining zones of indifference, where the law is suspended or rendered ineffective. He sees this as a fundamental shift in the nature of power, from a sovereign who decides what is right and wrong to a sovereign who creates and manages zones of lawlessness.
