We live today in the first global system of sovereign states in
history, encompassing all of the world's polities, peoples,
religions and civilizations. Christian Reus-Smit presents a new
account of how this system came to be, one in which struggles for
individual rights play a central role. The international system
expanded from its original European core in five great waves, each
involving the fragmentation of one or more empires into a host of
successor sovereign states. In the most important, associated with
the Westphalian settlement, the independence of Latin America, and
post-1945 decolonization, the mobilization of new ideas about
individual rights challenged imperial legitimacy, and when empires
failed to recognize these new rights, subject peoples sought
sovereign independence. Combining theoretical innovation with
detailed historical case studies, this book advances a new
understanding of human rights and world politics, with individual
rights deeply implicated in the making of the global sovereign
order.
