With Forewords by Geoffrey Robertson QC, Doughty Street Chambers,
London, UK and Professor Mihail E. Ionescu, Bucharest, Romania
Simona Tutuianu 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.
