Abstract
In this essay, I illustrate a relational perspective on gray zone politics, one that shifts the substantive and analytic focus of inquiry from groups and places (this trafficking gang, those neofascists, etc.) to the hidden links between them and established actors within the political field (be they state authorities, elected officials, or members of security forces).
