Competing Sovereignties provides a critique of the concept of
sovereignty in modernity in light of claims to determine the
content of law at the international, national and local levels. In
an argument that is illustrated through an analysis of debates over
the control of intellectual property law in India, Richard Joyce
considers how economic globalization and the claims of indigenous
communities do not just challenge national sovereignty - as if
national sovereignty is the only kind of sovereignty - but in fact
invite us to challenge our conception of what sovereignty is .
Combining theoretical research and reflection with an analysis of
the legal, institutional and political context in which
sovereignties 'compete', the book offers a reconception of modern
sovereignty - and, with it, a new appreciation of the complex
issues surrounding the relationship between international
organisations, nation states and local and indigenous
communities.
