Politics Without Sovereignty: A Critique of Contemporary International Relations

Description: Politics Without Sovereignty by Christopher Bickerton, Philip Cunliffe, Alexander Gourevitch Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Written by leading scholars, this book challenges the recent trend in international relations scholarship - the common antipathy to sovereignty. Publisher Description State sovereignty is under siege. The classical doctrine of sovereignty is widely seen as totalitarian, producing external aggression and internal repression. Political leaders and opinion-makers throughout the world claim that the sovereign state is a barrier to efficient global governance and the protection of human rights. Scholars from a variety of different approaches - realist, liberal, constructivist and post-structuralist - dispute the idea of a final authority in politics. Politics without Sovereignty challenges this unholy alliance against sovereignty. Two central claims are advanced in this book. First, that the sovereign state is being undermined not by the pressures of globalization but by a diminished sense of political possibility. Second, the book demonstrates that those who deny the relevance of sovereignty have failed to offer superior alternatives to the sovereign state. Sovereignty remains the best institution to establish clear lines of political authority and accountability. It preserves the idea that people shape collectively their own destiny.The authors claim that this positive idea of sovereignty as self-determination remains integral to politics both at the domestic and international levels. This key text will be of great interest to students and scholars of Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies, International Law, Development and European Studies.
