Description

Sovereignty in Transition brings together a group of leading scholars from law and cognate disciplines to assess contemporary developments in the framework of ideas and the variety of institutional forms associated with the concept of sovereignty. Sovereignty has been described as the main organising concept of the international society of states - one which is traditionally central to the discipline and practice of both constitutional law and of international law. The volume asks to what extent,and with what implications, this centrality is challenged by contemporary developments that shift authority away from the state to new sub-state, supra-state and non-state forms. A particular focus of attention is the European Union, and the relationship between the sovereignty traditions of various member states on the one hand and the new claims to authority made on behalf of the European Union itself on the other are examined.
The collection also includes contributions from international law, legal philosophy, legal history, political theory, political science, international relations and theology that seek to examine the state of the sovereignty debate in these disciplines in ways that throw light on the focal constitutional debate in the European Union.

Reviews / Votes

...full of suggestive thoughts...extremely informative. Agustin Jose Menendez Political Studies January 2005 Public law scholarship seems blessed at the moment with a raft of rather good edited collections...This new collection...makes a good case for being the pick of the crop...has an uncommon coherence of purpose, and displays throughout a commitment to rigorous and thought-provoking scholarship...this book is necessary reading for all thinking public lawyers...it approaches its chosen topic with a rare focus and intensity. Thomas Poole, University of Nottingham Public Law ...a landmark in the fast-growing field of philosophy of European law. Samantha Besson International Journal of Constitutional Law January 2005 [a] splendid symposium on Sovereignty in Transitionthis is a work that brings together some distinguished legal theorists, constitutional theorists, political theorists, experts in international law and international relations, a theologian and constitutionalists from a wide variety of European legal orders, including that of the European union itself[whose] fertile minds and wide scholarship almost inevitably facilitate proof of my point about sovereignty as a cluster concept and as a contested conceptbut there is much more to this important collection of essays than a short review essay can reveal. I shall go on reading this book Neil MacCormick European Law Review June 2004 ...one will find..a set of papers by a diverse group of respected academics that are well researched. Michael Rodney, London South Bank University The Law Teacher February 2005
