This book is a critical inquiry into sovereignty and argues that
the meaning and functions performed by this concept have changed
significantly during the past decades, with profound implications
for the ontological status of the state and the modus operandi of
the international system as a whole. Although we have grown
accustomed to regarding sovereignty as a defining characteristic of
the modern state and as a constitutive principle of the
international system, Sovereignty as Symbolic Form argues that
recent changes indicate that sovereignty has been turned into
something granted, contingent upon its responsible exercise in
accordance with the norms and values of an imagined international
community. Hence we need a new understanding of sovereignty in
order to clarify the logic of its current usage in theory and
practice alike, and its connection to broader concerns of social
ontology: what kind of world do we inhabit, and of what kind of
entities is this world composed? This book will be of interest to
students of International Relations, Critical Security and
International Politics.
