Written by leading scholars, this volume challenges the recent
trend in international relations scholarship - the common antipathy
to sovereignty. The classical doctrine of sovereignty is widely
seen as totalitarian, producing external aggression and internal
repression. Political leaders and opinion-makers throughout the
world claim that the sovereign state is a barrier to efficient
global governance and the protection of human rights. Two central
claims are advanced in this book. First, that the sovereign state
is being undermined not by the pressures of globalization but by a
diminished sense of political possibility. Second, it demonstrates
that those who deny the relevance of sovereignty have failed to
offer superior alternatives to the sovereign state. Sovereignty
remains the best institution to establish clear lines of political
authority and accountability, preserving the idea that people shape
collectively their own destiny. The authors claim that this
positive idea of sovereignty as self-determination remains integral
to politics both at the domestic and international levels. Politics
Without Sovereignty will be of great interest to students and
scholars of political science, international relations, security
studies, international law, development and European studies.
