"With Forewords by Geoffrey Robertson QC, Doughty Street
Chambers, London, UK and Professor Mihail E. Ionescu, Bucharest,
Romania"
Simona u uianu describes a new model of sovereignty which is
fast replacing the traditional Westphalian model embodied in
Article 2 of the UN Charter and rigorously followed throughout the
Cold War. The scholarly basis for this new model draws upon
developments in international criminal law which first emerged from
the Nuremberg trials and upon more recent interstate economic
cooperation which has turned sovereign independence into
interdependence across a range of state functions. Does this mean
that traditional Westphalian concepts of sovereignty should be
abandoned in constructing a new theory of world governance for the
twenty-first century? Not at all. A new model, which can be called
the pattern of interdependence-based sovereignty, serves to explain
contemporary events that puzzle traditional theorists, such as the
war over Kosovo, the invasions of Iraq and Libya, the emergence of
a "Responsibility to protect" doctrine and its recent validation in
Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973. We are witnessing the
emergence of a new philosophy of action, which is in the process of
producing a 21st century system of international relations.
The Book will appeal to academics, students and postgraduates
studying international affairs, politics, international law,
diplomatic history, or war and/or peace studies. It is particularly
of interest for NATO establishments and national military schools,
while experts and scholars will value its theory of what
sovereignty means today.
The Book offers a multidisciplinary approach which underpins a
new theory of how human rights can be better protected in a better
world. There is a unique case study of cooperative security in the
Greater Black Sea Area, by one of the few experts on the politics
of this region." "It will be read and appreciated by those who need
to understand how modern international law and diplomacy really
work. Journalists, media commentators, human rights NGOs, aid
agencies, diplomats and government officials need the information
in this Book.
