Paperback. In what ways is the concept of sovereignty changing today? Where is this change leading us - toward further international integration or toward greater subnational fragmentation? What will be the implications of this change for international security, peace, and justice? Will the emergence of new sovereign states for old ethnic groups lead the world toward greater order and justice or, rather, toward greater anarchy, violence and repression? The seven essays in this volume address these issues from historical, political, legal, ethical and sociological perspectives. Moreover, they survey applications of sovereignty in the West European, post-Communist, Islamic, and East Asian contexts. Contributors are: Gregory H. Fox, James Gow, Sohail H. Hashmi, Beatrice Heuser, Daniel Philpott, Miranda A. Schreurs, and Kamal S. Shehadi. The seven essays in this volume address issues concerned with state sovereignty from historical, political, legal, ethical and sociological perspectives. Moreover, they survey applications of sovereignty in the West European, post-Communist, Islamic, and East Asian contexts. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

"This fine collection of essays grapples with the slippery notion of state sovereignty and with the fate of the so-called Westphalian state. . . . It shows how state sovereignty . . . is put in question both by internal fragmentation and by economic and ecological interdependence, which not only deprives states of much of their power but also seems to transfer portions of 'legitimate authority' to public and private international organizations and to the free and largely rogue market. It shows that the evolution of sovereignty in recent centuries results from material, technological developments, from the ever-changing realities of power, and from the influence of ideas such as self-determination, or human rights, or pan-Islamism."
--Stanley Hoffmann, from the Foreword
