Sovereignty is among the most important phenomena for making sense
of political life. But there are many mistaken assumptions
associated with the concept. This book provides a new and somewhat
unorthodox interpretation of it from the standpoint of a theory of
practice. The Sovereign responds to pressing political issues of
our time, like immigration and refugees, transnationalism and
populism, the prospects for democracy, and the relationship between
civil society and the state. The chapters trace the concept of
sovereignty from its origins in political theory, providing
perspective and insights that leave the reader with a
phenomenological sketch of the sovereign. Bronner transforms our
ideas about political power, what it is, how it has been used, and
how it can be used. His new theory of sovereignty concludes with
twenty-five provocative theses on the sovereign's role in modern
capitalist society. The Sovereign is a novel and unparalleled
overview of a crucial concept by an influential thinker. It is
especially and particularly recommended to scholars and student of
comparative politics, international relations, contemporary
political theory, and the wider general public.
