This book explores how the bedrock institution of today's global
order - sovereignty - is undergoing transformation as a result of
complex interactions between power and norms, between politics and
international law. This book analyses a series of controversial
military interventions into the internal affairs of "irresponsible
sovereigns" and discusses their consequences for the rules on the
use of force and the principle of sovereign equality. Featuring
case studies on Kosovo, Darfur and Afghanistan, It shows that
frames from one discourse (for example the debate over the
responsibility to protect) have been imported into other discourses
(on counter-terrorism and nuclear non-proliferation) in an attempt
to legitimize a bold challenge to the global legal order. Although
the 'demise' of sovereignty is widely debated, this book instead
seeks to 'deconstruct' sovereignty by explaining how this
institution has been reconstituted by global powers whose hegemonic
law-making activities have popularized the notion of sovereignty as
responsibility. Drawing on international relations theory,
international law and sociology, Sovereignty and the Responsibility
to Protect develops a truly interdisciplinary perspective on the
transformation of sovereignty and will be of strong interest to
students and scholars in these fields.
