Sovereignty and Illicit Social Order - Global Modernity, Local Agony

Contesting conventional assumptions of the modern nation-state, this book challenges us to rethink the segmentation of the political realm and its underlying economic and social processes.

Cognizant of the historical context of systemic change, Lilyblad reconstructs how illicit social order arises from agonistic competition over territory, authority, and institutions. Immersive empirical investigation traces this bottom-up process in local conflict zones, detailing how spontaneous configurations of violence, socioeconomic resources, and legitimacy transcend the divide between public and private. Ultimately, the analytical vantage of global governance assesses the sobering implications for sovereignty to more accurately reflect the world we have, not the one we may want.

By showing how these inherently local illicit social orders develop apart from - not below - the state within a global anarchic society, this book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars, including political scientists, economists, sociologists, geographers, as well as researchers in interdisciplinary fields such as International Development, International Political Economy, and Global Governance.

Testo aggiuntivo

"A rare combination of theoretical acumen and empirical perspective. Not everyone can spend years theorizing licit and illicit governance at various territorial levels, tracing the history of their emergence in a country like Brazil, and travel to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to investigate further. But everyone can read this book." – Jörg Friedrichs, Associate Professor of Politics, University of Oxford, UK.
"States established themselves as sovereign in competition with other polities, and the fight is still on. By writing this ‘state building meets Brazilian favela politics’ book, Lilyblad has done both parties a great service." – Iver B. Neumann, author of Governing the Global Polity.
