Sovereignty and the sovereign state are often seen as anachronisms;
Globalization and Sovereignty challenges this view. Jean L. Cohen
analyzes the new sovereignty regime emergent since the 1990s evidenced
by the discourses and practice of human rights, humanitarian
intervention, transformative occupation, and the UN targeted sanctions
regime that blacklists alleged terrorists. Presenting a systematic
theory of sovereignty and its transformation in international law and
politics, Cohen argues for the continued importance of sovereign
equality. She offers a theory of a dualistic world order comprised of
an international society of states, and a global political community
in which human rights and global governance institutions affect the
law, policies, and political culture of sovereign states. She
advocates the constitutionalization of these institutions, within the
framework of constitutional pluralism. This book will appeal to
students of international political theory and law, political
scientists, sociologists, legal historians, and theorists of
constitutionalism.
