This volume explores a wide range of issues that have altered the theory and practice of state sovereignty. Interdisciplinary in its analysis, the book discusses the contemporary meaning and relevance of sovereignty and how it relates to the constitution of international order. 'This superbly edited collection of essays offers readers an illuminating overview of how the concept and practice of sovereignty is adapting to the multiple challenges of globalization. The volume achieves an impressive unity of focus due to a series of brilliant reconceptualizations of sovereignty.' Richard Falk, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
