The presence of Great Powers and outlaw states is a central but
under-explored feature of international society. In this book,
Gerry Simpson describes the ways in which an international legal
order based on 'sovereign equality' has accommodated the Great
Powers and regulated outlaw states since the beginning of the
nineteenth-century. In doing so, the author offers a fresh
understanding of sovereignty which he terms juridical sovereignty
to show how international law has managed the interplay of three
languages: the languages of Great Power prerogative, the language
of outlawry (or anti-pluralism) and the language of sovereign
equality. The co-existence and interaction of these three languages
is traced through a number of moments of institutional
transformation in the global order from the Congress of Vienna to
the 'war on terrorism'.
