The idea originated in the controversies and wars, both religious and political, of 16th and 17th century Europe and since that time it has continued to spread and evolve. Today sovereignty is a global system of authority: it extends across all religions, civilizations, languages, cultures, ethnic and racial groupings, and other collectivities into which humanity is divided.  \u003cp\u003eIn this highly accessible book, Robert Jackson provides a concise and comprehensive introduction to the history and meaning of sovereignty. Drawing on a wide range of examples from the US Declaration of Independence to terrorist attacks of 9\/11 he shows how sovereignty operates in our daily lives and analyses the issues raised by its universality and centrality in the organization of the world. The book covers core topics such as the discourse of sovereignty, the global expansion of sovereignty, the rise of popular sovereignty, and the relationship between sovereignty and human rights. It concludes by examining future challenges facing sovereignty in an era of globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis interdisciplinary study will be of interest to a wide range of students, academics and general readers who seek to understand this fundamental concept of the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 Sovereignty and Modernity\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eManifestations of Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSovereignty and Modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndependence and Supremacy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePower, Authority, Responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Discourse of Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 'A Shocking Idea'.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEurope before Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRespublica Christiana.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Revolution of Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3 Sovereigns of Europe and the World\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Great Transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Divine Right of Kings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDynastic Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWestern Empires.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eImperial Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4 Popular Sovereignty\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the Name of the People.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eParliamentary Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDemocratic Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTotalitarian Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNational Self-Determination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTerritorial Sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe End of Sovereignty?.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5 Sovereignty and Humanity\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProtecting Human Rights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHumanity Discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHuman Rights, Human Wrongs, and Sovereign States.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHuman Rights under International Law.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHumanitarian Intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6 Sovereignty and Globalization\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9\/11 and the State.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Globalization Thesis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Sovereign States System.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresuppositions of a States System.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBetween Past and Future\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52406562259224,"sku":"9780745623382","price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745623382.jpg?v=1784140116","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/sovereignty-the-evolution-of-an-idea-hardback-9780745623382","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
