This edited book explores diverse contestations and transformations of sovereignty around the world.
Sovereignty plays a central role in modern political thought and practice, but it also remains fundamentally contested. Depending on the context and perspective, it seems either omnipresent or elusive, liberating or oppressive, fading or resilient. Indeed, if in recent decades sovereignty has been expected to wane, today it is back on the agenda; not as the solid bedrock of modern – international – politics, which it never was, but as variations on a concept and institution that are ever contested and, as a result, constantly transforming.
Bringing together perspectives from various disciplines, including International Relations (IR), political theory, geography, law, and anthropology, this volume:
This book will be of much interest to students of statehood, sovereignty, conflict studies and International Relations.
