Description
Twelve contributors from various fields address the question of what it means to say that a state, a people or an individual is "sovereign". Underlying the range and diversity of their responses is a common problem: how does sovereignty relate to society and the state? The first part of the book focuses on contemporary developments in British politics, the European Union and South Africa; the second explores state sovereignty from an international perspective; and the third looks towards detaching sovereignty from the state. Feminist arguments about the individual self and the exploitation of prostituted women are examined, and there is an analysis of popular organizations and an assessment of the question of sovereignty and animal rights.
