This book is ideal for students and scholars of international relations, political theory, and global politics seeking a nuanced understanding of sovereignty. It suits readers interested in conceptual analysis and contemporary debates on the foundations of international order.

This book is a critical inquiry into the meaning and function of sovereignty in the present and argues that the meaning and functions performed by this concept have changed significantly during the past decades, with profound implications for the ontological status of the state and the modus operandi of the international system as a whole.

Description

This book summarises recent academic debates on sovereignty within academic international relations and political theory. Recent scholarship has focused on the changing meaning of the concept of sovereignty in a variety of historical and political contexts, and under what conditions these changes in turn spill over into institutional change on a global scale.

Sovereignty as Symbolic Form furnishes new insights about the current meaning and function of the concept of sovereignty within international relations and political theory.

Critics praise Bartelson's sophisticated and compelling analysis, noting his unique approach to the relationship between conceptual thinking and practical application in international relations. Ned Lebow commends the book for demonstrating how ideas about sovereignty profoundly impact theory and practice. Nicholas Onuf highlights Bartelson’s novel claim that sovereignty’s justification has shifted from domestic order to the promise of international peace, suggesting this challenges much recent scholarship. The book is noted for its conceptual depth and engagement with new interdisciplinary territory.
