""Revolutions and Sovereignty" is a cogently argued and superbly
written book in which Daniel Philpott sets forth an original and
provocative thesis. Challenging Realist and materialist
interpretations of international relations, he makes an impressive
case for the central role of ideas, particularly religious ideas,
in shaping the nature of revolutions in the international state
system beginning with the impact of Protestantism on the
Westphalian settlement of 1648. This is a book which undoubtedly
will stimulate much debate and which demands and deserves
thoughtful attention at a time when that state system is in the
midst of yet another revolutionary transformation."--Samuel
Huntington, Harvard University
"Dan Philpott is a rising star in international relations, and
this book demonstrates why. It is rich in historic detail,
conceptually rigorous, bold, and written with felicity. The reader
puts down "Revolutions in Sovereignty" with a keener sense of why
ideas matter to the world of international politics, an arena often
construed as a field of force in which ideas play an inconsequent
role."--Jean Bethke Elshtain, University of Chicago, author of
"Women and War"
""Revolutions in Sovereignty" tells us how ideas have shaped the
basic structure of international relations in the modern era.
Before sovereign statehood became real, it became an ideal in the
minds of the leaders and their followers who then made states
sovereign. In explaining how this happened, Daniel Philpott brings
original and insightful scholarship to bear on large and important
issues."--Michael Doyle, Princeton University, author of "Ways of
War and Peace"
