Pluriversal Sovereignty and the State - Imperial Encounters in Sri Lanka

This book explains how the processes of 'total territorial rule' at the core of the modern international system became normalised in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). It develops a decolonial framework informed by a 'pluriverse' of multiple ontologies of sovereignty to argue that the state itself is an outcome of imperial globalisation.
