State Sovereignty As Social Construct

Zusammenfassung State sovereignty is an inherently social construct. The modern state system is not based on some timeless principle of sovereignty! but on a conception that uniquely links authority! territory! population (society! nation)! and recognition! in a particular place (the state). This book describes the practices that have produced various sovereign ideals and resistances to them. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. The social construction of state sovereignty Thomas J.
