Sovereignty as Value is one of the first books to examine
sovereignty using solely a normative approach. Through fourteen
original essays, the book seeks to understand its viability in a
globalized world, thus taking into account the inclusion of a
language of rights, limitation and legitimacy. The authors' focus
is on whether sovereignty as a normative concept might be
understood as a criterion of legitimate power and authority; as a
foundational concept of public ethics applied to political and
legal institutions. How should notions of legitimacy be linked with
the notion of sovereignty? In what manner is sovereignty challenged
by territoriality and territorial control? How does sovereignty
relate to political legitimacy? Are all the forms of sovereign
authority legitimate? Does the project of advancing human rights
globally conflict with the logic of exclusion inherent in the
classic notion of national sovereignty? These are some of the
questions that will be assessed in this collective volume.
