Cosmopolitanism State Sovereignty And International Law And Politics A Theory | Law

This book assesses the relationship between cosmopolitanism and sovereignty. Often considered to be incompatible it is argued here that the two concepts are in many ways interrelated and to some extent rely on one another. By introducing a novel theory the work presents a detailed philosophical analysis to illustrate how these notions might theoretically and practically work together. This theoretical inquiry is balanced with detailed empirical discussion highlighting how the concepts are related in practice and to expose the weaknesses of stricter interpretations of sovereignty which present it as exclusionary. Finally the book looks at territorial disputes to explore how sovereignty and cosmopolitanism can successfully operate together to deal with global issues. The work will be of interest to academics and researchers in the areas of Legal Philosophy Legal Theory and Jurisprudence Public International Law International Relations and Political Science. |Cosmopolitanism State Sovereignty and International Law and Politics A Theory | Law
