Description
For International Relations scholars, discussions of globalization inevitably turn to questions of sovereignty. How much control does a country have over its borders, people and economy? Where does that authority come from?
Sovereign Lives explores these changes through readings of humanitarian intervention, human rights discourses, securitization, refugees, the fragmentation of identities, and the practices of development.
