This provocative and important text offers a new way of thinking
about sovereignty, both past and present. Distinguished geographer
John Agnew boldly challenges the widely popular story that state
sovereignty is in worldwide eclipse in the face of the overwhelming
processes of globalization. He argues that this perception relies
on ideas about sovereignty and globalization that are both
overstated and misleading. Agnew contends that sovereignty-state
control and authority over space is not necessarily neatly
contained in state-by-state territories, nor has it ever been so.
Yet the dominant image of globalization is the replacement of a
territorialized world by one of networks and flows that know no
borders other than those that define the Earth itself. In
challenging this image, Agnew first traces the ways in which it has
become commonplace. He then develops a new way of thinking about
the geography of effective sovereignty and the various geographical
forms in which sovereignty actually operates in the world, offering
an exciting intellectual framework that breaks with the either/or
thinking of state sovereignty versus globalization.
