'Kalmo and Skinner's excellent collection will appeal to scholars
in political theory, jurisprudence, legal history, international
law, European studies and international relations. No other work
has drawn on high calibre scholars from different disciplines to
examine the contemporary meaning and significance of sovereignty.'
Andrew Linklater, Aberystwyth University
'For anyone interested in seeing the concept of sovereignty fold
into the different forms imposed by rival practices and theories,
and assume the different functions ascribed in those competing
constructions, this collection offers a dazzling range of
perspectives.' Philip Pettit, Princeton University
