Sovereignty-the authority of a state to wield ultimate power over
its territory, its citizens, its institutions-is everywhere
undergoing change as states respond in various ways to the
challenges posed, from above and below. "Above" the state is the
widening net of international institutions and treaties dealing
with human rights, trade, investment, and monetary affairs; and
"below" it are rising claims within states from long-resident
groups discontented with the political order and from new migrants
testing its authority. Sovereignty under Challenge deals with a
range of such challenges and responses, analyzed in authoritative
studies by leading scholars. The introductory chapter sets forth
the theme that sovereignty is asserted clearly, but often
unpredictably, when governments respond to challenge. It suggests
ways of classifying these responses as variables that help explain
the changing nature of sovereignty. Part 1, "The Citizen and the
State," treats the rising tide of dual citizenship and the concerns
this arouses in the United States; the work of national human
rights commissions in Asia; and the challenge posed to the state by
the Falungong movement in China. The two chapters in Part 2, "The
Government as Decision-Maker," examine Japan's response to global
warming and the problems of the World Health Organization in
orchestrating collaboration among Southeast Asian states in
implementing infectious disease control. Part 3, "Sovereignty and
Culture," looks at conflicts engendered by outside change on
indigenous economic, cultural, and legal institutions in India,
Fiji, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The chapters in Part 4, "Sovereignty
and the Economy," analyze the economic and cultural instability
induced by Chinese migration to Russia's far east; the impact on
state sovereignty brought about by transnational regulatory
campaigns and social activism; the question of indigenous land
rights in the Philippines; and the impact of transnational
corporations on information technology in Asia. A concluding
chapter offers a global assessment of the current status of state
sovereignty.
