To be effective, sovereignty must be secured through force or
consent by those living in a territory, and accepted externally by
other sovereign states. To be legitimate, the sovereignty claim
must have the consent of its people and accord with international
human rights. In Sovereignty: The Biography of a Claim, Peter H.
Russell traces the origins of the sovereignty claim to Christian
Europe and the attribution of sovereignty to God in the early
Middle Ages. Transcending a narrow legal framework, he discusses
sovereignty as a political activity including efforts to enshrine
sovereignty within international law. Russell does not call for the
end of sovereignty but makes readers aware of its limitations.
While sovereignty can do good work for small and vulnerable
peoples, it cannot be the basis of a global order capable of
responding to the major existential threats that threaten our
species and our planet. A brisk, often humorous, and personal
exploration, Sovereignty: The Biography of a Claim will interest
specialists and general readers alike, offering fresh insights on
the limitations of sovereignty and the potential of federalism to
alleviate these limitations now and in the future.
