Ragbourn, Brian Forbes. "Divine sovereignty". Thesis, Southampton Solent University, 2004. http://ssudl.solent.ac.uk/599/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Various traditional cultures around the world used to subscribe to a reality of Divine Sovereignty, ie. that the Earth ultimately belongs to the Creator. Modern politics and disciplines within Western science have become detatched from this humble spiritual perspective. Yet when reexamined at source, mainstream religious, scientific and legal theories which appear to discredit Divine Sovereignty are found to be tainted by contemporabeous vested interests. Spirtual luminaries, who have interpreted Divine Sovereignty within the political context of distributive justice and economic democracy, have been mercilessly persecuted. Evidence indicates that Jesus was a classic example, and that his original universal teachings have been adulterated. By exploring the work, and substantiating the spiritual philosophy of the 20th century polymath Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar, the thesis assembles past and present knowledge into a new coherent paradigm, which encompasses Divine Creation, the divine nature of matter, plus a spiritual explanation of human and social evolution. The research elucidates the relevance of the latter to the current conflict in the Middle East and concludes by outlining Sarkar's principles for establishing a just sustainable post-sexist society which operates in accordance with Divine sovereignty.

This thesis describes a practice based research journey across various projects dealing with the design of algorithms, to highlight the governance implications in design choices made on them. The research provides answers and documents methodologies to address the urgent need for more awareness of decisions made by algorithms about the social and economical context in which we live. Algorithms consitute a foundational basis across different fields of studies: policy making, governance, art and technology. The ability to understand what is inscribed in such algorithms, what are the consequences of their execution and what is the agency left for the living world is crucial. Yet there is a lack of interdisciplinary and practice based literature, while specialised treatises are too narrow to relate to the broader context in which algorithms are enacted. This thesis advances the awareness of algorithms and related aspects of sovereignty through a series of projects documented as participatory action research. One of the projects described, Devuan, leads to the realisation of a new, worldwide renown operating system. Another project, "sup", consists of a minimalist approach to mission critical software and literate programming to enhance security and reliability of applications. Another project, D-CENT, consisted in a 3 year long path of cutting edge research funded by the EU commission on the emerging dynamics of participatory democracy connected to the technologies adopted by citizen organizations. My original contribution to knowledge lies within the function that the research underpinning these projects has on the ability to gain a better understanding of sociopolitical aspects connected to the design and management of algorithms. It suggests that we can improve the design and regulation of future public, private and common spaces which are increasingly governed by algorithms by understanding not only economical and legal implications, but also the connections between design choices and the sociopolitical context for their development and execution.

The European Union was created to pursue peace on a continent that had been ravaged by war twice in a single generation. It has evolved to include 27 countries, 17 of whom operate under a single currency: the euro. Over the past five years, the euro zone has fluctuated between crises caused by irresponsible financial management. The resulting extensive sovereign debt in a number of European countries is aggravated by the European Union’s weak central structure. In this thesis paper, I begin with the history of the European Union and move into the creation of the Euro and the causes of the European Sovereign Debt Crisis. I will then discuss the issues that exacerbate the debt crisis in two separate EU countries (Greece and Italy) and move into an analysis of the barriers to full recovery. I finish by discussing a potential framework for the future and presenting four steps I find necessary in order to move toward a fiscally healthy European Union.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis proposes a realist analysis of the contemporary concept of popular sovereignty in its ability to make sense of the EU's legitimacy. Drawing upon Bernard Williams' political thought, a conception of legitimacy should make sense of hierarchical rule as a desirable civic order from within its own historical circumstances at the normative level. In addition, it should offer realistic guidance to political agents, meaning that its political fictions must therefore acquire a certain degree of practical resonance in order to act as heuristic tools. The modern concept of popular sovereignty sets appropriate criteria of legitimacy based upon the bonds created between citizens. Through a genealogical inquiry, I reconstruct conceptions of popular sovereignty which underpin defences of the EU's output, democratic, and identitarian legitimacy from canonical arguments. These justifications of the state consider the people as beneficiaries of security and economic prosperity, as a self-governing demos, and as a cultural nation, respectively. I propose a realist vindication of this multi-faceted conception of popular sovereignty at the normative level, because these different conceptions complement one another in making sense of the sovereign state's legitimacy. The thesis then discusses how the political fictions of the people could simultaneously make sense within the European polity. In short, the citizens of Europe's polities have become part of the normative systems which create judicial-economic, civic-democratic, and socio-cultural relationships within the territorial borders of the European states. In addition, the centralisation of decision-making power and implementation resources has given plausibility to the political fiction of sovereignty. European integration has, however, resulted in a reconfiguration of these normative systems and restructuring of power into a two-tier political order. In this novel context, a realist vindication of the contemporary conception of popular sovereignty is no longer possible. The thesis concludes by suggesting that a demoicratic reconceptualisation of popular sovereignty offers a constructive way to make sense of the EU's legitimacy.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines the influence of contemporary approaches to biodiversity conservation on conceptions of state sovereignty over natural resources. Traditional approaches to state sovereignty have emphasized the right of states to exploit natural resources. Contemporary approaches to biodiversity conservation, however, have given rise to a more flexible and dynamic understanding of state sovereignty over natural resources: one encompassing sovereign rights of exploitation along with corresponding conservation responsibilities. Founded upon this premise, the thesis focuses on the emergence of a 'balanced' approach to state sovereignty over natural resources and examines its effects on the role of states in managing natural resources. While addressing it as the basis of the emergence of the recognition of a duty of environmental protection, inter alia, in the form of biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of biological resources, the author suggests that the balanced approach to state sovereignty has been instrumental in redefining the role of states, and the role of the sovereignty principle itself in achieving the goal of biodiversity conservation.

This thesis subjects the relevance of sovereignty in the context of globalization to critical examination, mindful of the increasing contentions today that sovereignty should either be abandoned or relegated to practical insignificance. Defined as a spatio-temporal revolution whose implications are corrosive of the assumptions upon which modern territorial sovereignty lay, the thesis recognises that sovereignty certainly faces significant challenges. Having subjected this spatio-temporal revolution and its implications for sovereignty to detailed analysis, however, it pursues what might be described as a middle way identifying the ongoing importance of sovereignty but also the urgent need for a measure of reconceptualisation. In the first instance the thesis observes that, whilst the reality of a growing extra-territorial realm is beyond question, it coexists with territoriality and thus territorial sovereignty rather than displacing it. Indeed the thesis argues that the extra-territorial realm depends on sovereign territoriality in many different ways, especially in terms of legitimacy. In the second instance, however, whilst state sovereignty is not displaced by the spatio-temporal revolution its influence is most certainly eroded. Furthermore, the reality of extra-territorial flows means that there can be no doubt that, whilst sovereignty remains a significant concept, it will be the source of much distortion if it fails to recognise those flows. This thesis responds to these observations pursuing the reconceptualisation of sovereignty in search of a new form of 'open sovereignty'. In rising to this challenge it provides a critique both of those seeking to jettison sovereignty or relegate it to insignificance and those who maintain that globalization has no impact on sovereignty. In pursuing this course the thesis exploits the spatio-temporal hermeneutic of traditional Welsh nationalism which, recognizing the new temporality of globalization in the context of an enduring spatial orientation, provides a significant conceptual frame for IR in the 21st century.

Kamau, Laura-Margaret Ngahere Te Pohe. "'Maori Sovereignty' Donna Awatere - 1982". Thesis, University of Canterbury. Humanities, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/7000.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis explores the ambivalent nature of Maori political theory as expressed through the writings of Donna Awatere in her publication Maori Sovereignty. Consequently it traces the intellectual history of Maori political thought with a particular emphasis on how Maori have traditionally perceived and advanced their ‘sovereignty’ and its equivalent term, ‘tino rangatiratanga’. The reason for this emphasis is to show how Awatere changed Maori perception of their tino rangatiratanga when she coined the phrase ‘Maori Sovereignty’ in 1982.
This work offers an insider’s account into New Zealand’s ‘movements of unity’ that had occurred during the 1970’s and 1980’s based on Awatere’s personal experiences and involvement in various groups. Further it sets out to capture the influences and events that led Awatere to write Maori Sovereignty in order to demonstrate how she had advanced Maori understanding of their tino rangatiratanga. In addition, its attempts to broaden Maori understanding of their tino rangatiratanga by analysing Awatere’s political theory in juxtaposition with global trends, more specifically, the decolonisation and nationalistic processes that occurred in the decades following World War Two.
This thesis argues that Maori Sovereignty differed greatly from any other work previously written by both Maori and Pakeha as it challenged existing interpretations of how Maori had perceived and had advanced their tino rangatiratanga. Subsequently, Maori Sovereignty has carved its place as one of New Zealand’s most debated and misunderstood publication to ever come out of the 1980’s and because of this, the lack of proper analysis has given cause for this thesis.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the modern trends among the Muslims concerning the problem of sovereignty. The question of sovereignty, which basically deals with political power, has become a matter of great concern to the Muslims since the nineteenth century especially those who are interested in the real principles of Islamic statehood as opposed to the western political concepts. There have been remarkable attempts by modern Muslim scholars to reconstruct early Islamic theories of rulership in cirumstances which have been entirely different to those in which the theories were born, chiefly due to the encounter between Islam and the West. These scholars have attempted to express these theories in modern terms amongst which the word sovereignty is in common use. Owing to the great impact of the Western notions of sovereignty, we shall also consider to what extent they have influenced the emergence of the new Muslim attitudes. It is advisable, therefore, to start the study with an examination of the origins of the Western theories in order to understand the Islamic concept of sovereignty as conceived by the modern Muslims. In Europe, sovereignty emerged as an important political concept after the religious wars of the sixteenth century and as a result of the creation of the territorial nation state. Though, it is generally an accepted working assumption up to the present time, yet it is an ambiguous term and lends itself to different interpretaions. In fact, it has been given a variety of forms in a number of theories which are all surrounded with much controversy. Nonetheless, all states of the modern world, including the Muslim countries, have been founded on the basis of these Western theories. After the Western sources the study looks into the early Islamic ideas of rulership from which the Muslims derive their inspirations. The survey of the modem Muslim views that follows covers the political thought of the Ottomans, the Arabs and the Muslims of the Indian sub-continent since the ninteenth century.

In the recent decade or so, the western democracies have seen a rise in the fame and electoral success of populist-nationalist parties and candidates, particularly in Europe. For example, French Presidential Candidate Marine Le Pen made it to the second round of the presidential election in 2017. Often, these parties are extremely concerned about state sovereignty and mention it in electoral campaigns, documents and speeches. However, it is unclear as to what populist-nationalists mean when they use the word ‘sovereignty.’ I seek to answer this question in this work. In other words, what does sovereignty mean to populist-nationalist parties? I argue that sovereignty means something different to populist-nationalist parties than what previously conceived definitions of sovereignty can offer. Furthermore, I argue that populist-nationalist parties are reconstructing why sovereignty matters and what it means. In order to do this, I utilize a concept known as cultural sovereignty which, with some modification, accurately portrays what sovereignty means to populist-nationalists. I define cultural sovereignty, differently than previous conceptions, as the aim to benefit, protect or maintain the culture of a particular group, the nation or nation-state and retain control over this particular culture or nation-state. I accurately demonstrate this by examining previous research, party documents, interviews, statements and journalistic articles in order to discern a common narrative which I then use to prove that my version of cultural sovereignty encapsulates what these parties mean by sovereignty. My conclusions arise from four general policy areas: aversion supra-national governance (Euroscepticism mainly), anti-immigration, cultural promotion and protection policies and lastly economic nationalism. The insights put forth by this work help us understand what these parties mean and help us understand their conceptions of the world as well as governance in general.Arts, Faculty of

Most - if not all - conflicts in international relations have - to an extent - something to do with sovereignty. On the theoretical side, we learn at University that either considered as a strong concept or one that has lost relevance, it is still discussed. On the practical side, the prerogatives a State has over its people and territory appear to be the highest. Within these ideal and real backgrounds, there are various sovereignty disputes around the world that struggle between legal and political limbo, status quo and continuous tension with various negative consequences for all the involved parties (e.g. violation of human rights, war, arms trafficking, only to name a few). It is increasingly clear that the available remedies have been less than successful, and a peaceful and definitive solution is needed. This thesis proposes a fair and just way of dealing with certain sovereignty conflicts. Part One presents the core argument to work out the structure upon which this thesis will be developed. There is a traditional idea that sovereignty must be unshared and unlimited. I argue that in actual fact both in theory and in practice sovereignty is always limited. Thereby, I consider how shared sovereignty is possible—how a State can limit itself and stay sovereign. Chapter One, the Introduction, presents the basic constitutive elements of this thesis. Chapter Two examines if sovereignty can be (in fact, may actually be) limited, and therefore can be shared. To show this I use both criticism of the best known theories of sovereignty and investigation of the historical facts. Part Two explores the minimum elements that must be acknowledged conceptually, legally and realistically in order to give flesh to shared sovereignty and the way it needs to work if we want a peaceful understanding amongst the parties concerned. Chapter Three appraises ‘shared sovereignty’ and similar expressions used in political and legal literature. In order to do that, I show which notions of shared sovereignty are not relevant. Chapter Four examines how a relevant notion can be developed, using the analogy of self-ownership. Chapter Five discusses the main remedies applied at international level in sovereignty issues and why proposed alternatives to shared sovereignty will not solve the problem. Part Three considers how distributive justice theories can be in tune with the concept of sovereignty and explores the possibility of a solution for sovereignty conflicts. I argue that shared sovereignty can be that solution based on Rawlsian principles. Chapter Six introduces and explores a new conception of shared sovereignty. Chapter Seven evaluates what sorts of institutions and arrangements could, and would best, realise shared sovereignty so defined by showing in outline how it might be applied to territory, population, government and law. Chapter Eight brings together the main points of this thesis, and shows possible further implications.

This text examines the sovereignty concept in Sayyid Qutb´s final book Milelstones, with a focus on the political and non-political aspects of the concept. The analysis also examines potentially radical and extreme aspects in the concept. The findings show that Qutb´s sovereignty concept is a practical theology focused on what God´s sovereignty means for Muslims in belief and practice. God´s sovereignty is an encompassing concept to Qutb, which means that His exclusive right to sovereignty should permeate through the souls of Muslims and guide their actions in all spheres of life, including in politics. In a concrete form, this means that God´s law and principles should be implemented. Qutb´s sovereignty concept is not extreme, but radical because it challenges established secular orders and the hegemonic assumption in modern discourses that human beings have a right to sovereignty.

There is no international agreement on the vertical limit of State sovereignty, the boundary between territorial airspace and outer space. The need for defining this boundary has been debated for over 50 years. Today, the need to settle this gap in the law is growing in importance. This thesis concludes that setting a low vertical limit on State sovereignty is the best approach because it will allow all States free access to space and enable uniform international rules to be set at a relatively low altitude.Chapter I discusses territorial sovereignty and examines the evolution of vertical sovereignty. It then compares this to the evolution of the law governing territorial seas and concludes by examining the airspace laws of several States. Chapter II reviews the reasons demarcation is important. Chapter III discusses past proposals for demarcation and recommends setting a low vertical limit on State sovereignty.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This PhD seeks to explore the development of a bio-molecular (i.e., genomic) map as a sovereign resource in Mexico. The basic analytical thread of the dissertation is related to the circulation of genomic variability through the policy/legal and scientific social worlds that compose the Mexican medical-population genomics arena. It follows the construction of the Mexican Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN), the notion of genomic sovereignty, and the Mexican Genome Diversity Project (MGDP).The key argument for the construction of the INMEGEN relied in a nationalist policy framing, which considered the Mexican genome as a sovereign resource, coupling Mexican “uniqueness” to the very nature of genomic science. Nevertheless, the notion of genomic sovereignty was nothing similar to a paradigm, and was not based on shared visions of causality, since the very “nature” of the policy object —Mexican Genome— was, and still is, a disputed reality. It was through the rhetoric upon independence, emancipation and biopiracy: i.e. experiences of dispossession “in archaeology, botany or zoology” (IFS 2001: 25) that the novelty of population genomics became amenable to be understood as a sovereign matter. Therefore, the strategic reification of Mexicanhood fuelled the whole policy and the legal agenda of the INMEGEN as well, which permitted cooperation without consensus and opened the process of policy innovation. Conversely, scientists considered genomic sovereignty an unfounded exaggeration, but anyhow they cooperated and even created a new policy and scientific enterprise. Genomic sovereignty exemplifies the process of cooperation without consensus on its most extreme version .So, as the notion circulated and gradually became a law to protect Mexican genomic patrimony, the initial coalition of scientists, lawyers and policy makers disaggregated. Many of the original members of the coalition now think of genomic sovereignty as a strategy of the INMEGEN to monopolise genomic research in the country. This dissertation additionally explores the way in which the MGDP is constructed in mass media, in INMEGEN´s communication and in the laboratory practices. These different dimensions of the MGDP depict the difficulties that emerge between the probabilistic, relative and multiple constructions of population genomics and the rhetorical strategies to continually assert the existence of the unique “Mexican Genome”. I argue that the Mexican case study provides an entry point to what I and others (Benjamin 2009; Schwartz-Marin 2011) have identified as a postcolonial biopolitics in which the nation state is reasserted rather than diluted. However the relation between sovereignty, race and nation is not mediated by the biological purification of the nation (Agamben 1998; Foucault 2007), or the active participation of citizens looking to increase their vitality (Rose 2008, Rose & Rabinow 2006), but on an awareness of subalternity in the genomic arena and a collective desire to compete in the biomedical global economy.

Ulloa, Esmeralda. "Fashioning Sovereignty in Latin American Narrative". Thesis, Harvard University, 2011. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:10006.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
With the arrival of the Europeans, the dressed body became a discursive forum upon which to negotiate the possession of land and the legitimate right to govern in Latin America. In conquest chronicles, the Aristotelian notion that mother nature marked the bodies of those she destined for slavedom came to be applied as a primary discursive tool to justify Spain’s claim to sovereignty. Amerindian forms of dress (or lack thereof) served as visual markers of mental and moral inferiority, lack of civic principles, and an inability of indigenous peoples to self-govern. This study examines the persistence of these impressions of inferiority in modern day body politics. It also questions the applicability of concepts imported from Europe that are involved in the configuration of sovereignty as its formulation changed from something imposed by the conquest to a political principle upon which Latin America’s political communities defined themselves. I analyze the representation of politically charged bodies in four 20th century narratives that dialogue with three crucial moments in the evolution of sovereignty in Latin America (the conquest, the independence movements, and modern-day popular revolutions). Drawing from recent political theory, which views sovereignty as a continually evolving multifaceted social practice involving a wide variety of cultural and legal practices, this dissertation examines the complex processes by which bodies, both physical and symbolic, become vested with political significance. In response to Moira Gatens’s work, which argues that just as theory has abandoned neutral and abstract conceptualizations of material bodies, bodies politic should similarly be examined as historically situated practices determined by specific power relations (gender, class, race, etc.); I propose that we, scholars of Latin American Studies, must find the equivalent of what Luce Irigaray, referring to women’s bodies, calls ‘our body’s language.’ This dissertation observes that the link between sovereignty and the dressed body in Latin America begs further examination, and that we must develop a set of terms and concepts that capture the specific cultural, political and ideological circumstances behind how the body performs at a material and symbolic level in Latin America’s quest toward sovereignty.Romance Languages and Literatures

Sovereignty today is conditional, compromised and contractual in ways that require a reassessment of the doctrine of sovereignty in an era of globalization and global capital markets. Taking as a case study Indonesia during its financial crisis in 1997-1998, this thesis explores the sovereign ability of a state such as Indonesia to act effectively and independently in its own economic interest in a crisis. The argument of this thesis that sovereignty today is conditional, compromised and contractual to an unprecedented degree rests on two pillars: first, that a universal awareness of human rights increasingly has imposed a contract on sovereign leaders demanding, as a condition for the right to sovereign non-interference, that they respect the most fundamental human rights of their citizens. Second, as the case of Indonesia will demonstrate, that in the global economy where contagion is a real and dangerous phenomenon, countries must accept IMF conditionality or find themselves cut off not only from assistance from the International Financial Institutions but, more importantly, from private investors whose loss of confidence in an economy can trigger a serious financial crises with severe long-term consequences for the society as a whole.

BREXIT caused an existential crisis in Northern Ireland, by March 2019 the Irish border, between Northern Ireland (part of the UK) and the Republic of Ireland will become the EU's only land frontier with another union. Considering more than double the number of land crossings (275) exist on the Irish border than the entire eastern block of the EU, coupled with Northern Ireland's conflicted history, how this new border should function has caused a political deadlock, and stalled UK/EU negotiations on their formal divorce. Following the 2015 migrant crisis in Europe, the BREXIT slogan "take back our borders" promoted the xenophobic vilification of a particular kind of outsider. This is particularly significant given 2016 saw a record number of visitors to Ireland in the island's history. At same moment that the idea of national sovereignty is intensifying, so too is the need for open borders. BREXIT revives the Irish border, which had all but disappeared, threatening the recovery of the region's towns, which suffered decades of militarized violence, customs checks and the general friction of the geopolitical abstraction of a border. Given this history of conflict, the UK has vowed for a "frictionless"and "invisible" border, while no proposals have been made for how this could be avoided. The only consensus between Belfast, Dublin, London and Brussels is that no "hard infrastructure" should be proposed, a non-solution based on the violent image of the Irish border's past, and wishful thinking given the administrative imperative of border management. This thesis instead argues that if construction is going to happen, it should be an architecture that takes the border town as its subject, and serves local life while attracting visitors. Indeed the majority of the border is made up of waterways that already act as anchors for an array of local and visitor activities. Having historically bore the brunt of the border's imposition; border towns have developed numerous cross community initiatives to attract EU and Tourism investment. The thesis proposes to leverage these sources of funding for grassroots community initiatives, to propose locally tuned architectural interventions along the waterways of border towns. In a context anything but stable this thesis aims to produce a space for architectural stability, bringing people together at a point of division; to float, drink and otherwise not care about the border. Soggy Sovereignty offers a space to soak in the jurisdictional ambiguity, and ultimately, challenge the Irish Border.

This thesis analyses whether the concept of monetary sovereignty evolves under the impact of globalization and financial integration, and provides a framework for assessing what this implies. Thereby, this thesis contributes to a better understanding of both the contemporary exercise of sovereign powers in monetary and financial matters and of the driving forces behind the evolution of international law in this field. As elaborated in chapter 1, the contemporary concept of monetary sovereignty proposed by this thesis is not static but dynamic in nature. Due to the dual nature of sovereignty as a concept having not only positive but also important normative components, monetary sovereignty cannot become eroded under the impact of legal and economic constraints. Chapter 2 examines the ongoing hybridization of international monetary law arising from changes in the sources of this complex body of law, from the unsuitability of the categories of ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ law for characterizing all normative evolutions in this field, and from the rise of private and transnational monetary law. Chapter 3 scrutinizes the phenomenon of exchange rate misalignment under monetary and trade law. Intrinsically related, it assesses which aspects of the IMF’s legal framework should be reformed in order to tackle contemporary challenges to the stability of the international monetary system, such as global current account imbalances. Chapter 4 analyses the increasing regionalization of monetary sovereignty. It argues that, to the extent that transferring sovereign powers to a monetary union is what provides a state’s population with maximum monetary and financial stability, the underlying transfers are not a surrender of monetary sovereignty, but its effective exercise under the form of cooperative sovereignty. Finally, chapter 5 assesses the implications of the contemporary concept of monetary sovereignty proposed herein for the reorganization of the international financial architecture in the wake of the Great Recession.

Scholars of International Relations are increasingly interested in exploring differences between the members of international society, and the various forms of international hierarchy which connect these unlike actors. There are many points of intersection between these areas of interest, and a recent turn towards historical sociology, which puts the historical development of international society front and centre, and draws particular attention to the long-nineteenth century as a pivotal period in that development. This thesis seeks to contribute to these research programmes, by explaining variations between the so-called 'semi-sovereign' polities found throughout international society at the time. These entities existed throughout the entirety of the long-nineteenth century, and could be found across a range of regions. They varied by legal type, in terms of the rights they held and lacked, and in terms of the organizations and institutions they comprised and within which they were situated. This thesis accounts for variations between these polities in terms of four 'social logics': complexes of relations, processes, practices, norms, and concepts which, taken together, represent distinct, ideal-typical styles of interaction. Drawing on 'relational' International Relations theory and approaches from historical sociology, I argue that polities manifested and embodied elements of these prior logics, in a range of different combinations and configurations. With recourse to these logics â law, management, suzerainty, and cultural differentiation â we can account for where these entities came from, why they had the characteristics they did, and why they varied from one another, as well as from their fully-sovereign and wholly non-sovereign counterparts.

State sovereignty is being challenged by a variety of factors, ranging from globalisation, to the increasing importance of non-state actors, to the new modalities of force at the international level. But perhaps the most important challenge to sovereignty is that posed by democracy. Democracy dominates international society to such an extent that it has provoked arguments that democratic processes and content are necessary in such areas as self-determination, recognition of states, and more generally, through a right to democratic governance under international law. This work develops the implications of the challenge of democracy to sovereignty in three arguments. The first, rejecting the trend of much current scholarship, is simply that sovereignty is a valuable legal construct, one that can, and should, be preserved. The second argument is that sovereignty can overcome its present challenges because by its very nature it is a flexible, dynamic, and evolving concept. Sovereignty, both in practice and theory, has represented different things at different times, and continues to react and adapt to new developments. The third argument is that sovereignty is developing in ways that make it more compatible with democracy. This latter argument is particularly contentious, and requires detailed examination of the nature of the three concepts at the heart of this work, namely, statehood, democracy and sovereignty. Several chapters engage in this detailed analysis. After a brief definitional chapter, the concept of statehood and the challenges facing the modern state are examined. Democracy is the focus of the following two chapters, one of which defines it and sets out its substance, and the other examines its theoretical and practical justifications. Five chapters concentrating on sovereignty follow. The first looks at absolutist, the second at contractarian (social contract), and the third at more modern theories of sovereignty. Then the three concepts of statehood, democracy and sovereignty are distinguished and re-assessed, before a democratic conception of sovereignty is set forth.

This thesis examines how contemporary political thought has deployed the concept of political representation. I argue that the leading contemporary accounts of Hanna Pitkin, Michael Saward and Nadia Urbinati overlook the constitutive relationship between political representation and political sovereignty. This relationship is rooted in their founding inheritance from Thomas Hobbes’ accounts of political representation and political sovereignty. The silence of these accounts about their Hobbesian inheritance means that the contemporary grasp of the concept of political representation is more tenuous than admitted. Without dealing with the question of Hobbesian sovereignty, contemporary political thought on political representation comes to be a silent carrier of its elements and vulnerable to exploitation by its defenders and proponents. The resolution of this inheritance and its accompanying tensions has significant consequences for how politics is to be conceived and understood today.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The thesis constitutes a study of a number of models of sovereignty as a means of gaining illumination on the nature of the use of sovereignty as an explanatory idea and the practices which it is used to represent. The models studied in detail are those of Augustinus Triumphus, who provided a pre-modern model of theocratically based global governance, and of Hobbes, Austin and Schmitt, who provided models of territorially based secular governance. In the analysis of these models, the features of sovereignty that will be explored are its symbolic character, its embeddedness, the role of routine in its operation and its potentiality for rupture. In relation to the last mentioned feature, which is particularly although not solely posed in Schmitt's model of sovereignty, a grammar of normalities is developed in response to the relationship between norm and exception lying at the centre of his model. In examining these features, a philosophical framework will be developed, drawing on the writings of Ernst Cassirer, with particular reference to his ideas concerning the structure and role of symbols. Further theoretical refinements are made by supplementing the above framework with insights taken from Ludwig Wittgenstein, Anthony Giddens and Charles Taylor, and the idea of rupture is investigated more rigorously by exploring its relationship to that of routine. At this point, a model of popular sovereignty developed by Hans Lindahl and influenced by Cassirer is critically examined and a response is made to its inadequacies. In the conclusion, the notion of a secularised chain of being is introduced as a general underlying feature of the discourse of sovereignty. It will be suggested that despite the differences between the models, they all represent particular instances of an approach dependent on this notion, which has implications for the general nature of the discourse of sovereignty.

The problem at the heart of the Thesis can be formulated, in its simplest form, as follows: What is (the nature of) state sovereignty? I approach this problem with a view to deploying one of the methodologies developed by analytical jurisprudence in tackling the quaestio vexata: What is (the nature of) law? In particular, I seek to deploy a method of the sort employed by John Finnis in offering an explanatory definition of law. Accordingly, I focus attention on the characteristic features of the paradigm case of state sovereignty. The trajectory drawn by the six Chapters of the Thesis is impelled by the following research question: what are the standing human needs that make sovereignty (despite the risks associated with its exercise) necessary and desirable for a state, both internally and externally? In order to answer this question, I first consider how external and internal (state) sovereignty have been conceptualised in the context of analytical jurisprudence. This allows me to establish that (state) law and (state) sovereignty are co-related, and directs me toward a study of legal discourse. On the basis of this correlation, I show that the concepts of external and internal sovereignty are associated with a (meta-)claim to state legal independence and a (meta-)claim to state legal supremacy. By analysing those claims, in the context of public international law and constitutional law discourse, I demonstrate that two needs in combination, the need for self-determination and the need for autonomy, underpin those claims. I conclude by arguing that state sovereignty, both externally and internally, is made necessary and desirable (despite the risks associated with its exercise) by the state political community's standing needs for self-determination and autonomy, which are rooted in the necessity and desirability of protecting a human person's freedom in practical reasonableness.

This research is concerned with the development of international law in so far as it relates to the historical background for the Peace of Westphalia, which itself is understood as a seminal event in the history of the growth of both the theoretical notion of sovereignty and, in its present milieu, as an attribute of states. This research gets behind Westphalia, to suggest a plausible nexus of ideology and events which led to these treaties, and to focus specifically on the event which I suggest was the sin qua non development which led to the Westphalian concord. I suggest that the course set for the Church at the Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. best explains both the context and initial impetus for the treaty-making at the Peace of Westphalia in the seventeenth century. I also suggest that the similarities between the two politically charged congresses are far more than random correlatives.
In this research I will discuss the importance of Nicaea to Westphalia and also discuss some of the historical lineage pursuant to the idea of state sovereignty and look at its ultimate interconnectedness with the Christian religion. My suggestion in this research is that the late antiquity transformation of the Christian church from spiritual and cultural governance to temporal imperial sovereignty in Europe suggests a trenchant indication of what Nicaea represented in terms of setting a trajectory for the church's political sovereignty, a sovereignty which ultimately begun to be wrested back from it at Westphalia.
This research suggests that the sovereignty which characterized the Late Antiquity Roman Empire under the Emperor Constantine was bequeathed to the Christian Church at Nicaea by fiat. In other words, this research is suggesting a starting point for the development of European sovereignty at which Europe's most enduring institution of eighteen-hundred plus years was the main actor: the Roman Catholic Church.

This paper discusses how Gitxaała governance and law inform perceptions of, and responses to, resource extraction and industrial development within laxyuup Gitxaała, the traditional territory of Gitxaała Nation. As argued, the Nation’s interest in maintaining its primary authority over decision making processes related to development is rooted in a greater desire for increased recognition and respect of its unextinguished rights and title—its Aboriginal sovereignty—under Canadian Law. Significantly, Gitxaała Nation's assertion of sovereignty is founded upon the continuation of a governance system intrinsically tied to the Nation's active engagement with the territory, and the harvest of the resources found therein. Gitxaała Nation's perceptions of, and responses to, development are therefore best understood from the vantage point of its desire to uphold Gitxaała laws (ayaawx), oral history (adawx), and concept of inheritance (gugwilx'ya'ansk) in the practices of territorial management. It is this relationship of interdependence between Gitxaała Nation and its traditional territory that forms the basis of the Nation’s understanding of what it means to be Gitxaała.Arts, Faculty of

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
In contrast with the procedural orientation of Athenian law in his day, Aristotle thinks that the lawcode should include principles which explain the rules of the lawcode and guide the interpretation of these rules in difficult cases. It should be determined by majority vote whether the decisions and proposals of political experts are consistent with the principles of the lawcode. Aristotle's views on practical explanation support his views on political deliberation. Someone has a techne rather than mere empeiria if he can give an account of the principles of an art and is able to explain the results of his deliberations in the art in terms of the principles. Such explanation does not have the same status as apodeixis in the epistemai, in that such an explanation cannot demonstrate that a conclusion follows necessarily from the principles of the art. However, a person who has experience in the art is able to evaluate deliberative options based on such arguments.Aristotle has an account of practical intellection which, like Plato's, is theory-based. Aristotle's account is an adjustment of Plato's account in the light of Isocrates' criticisms of Plato. Aristotle combines the accounts of Plato and Isocrates---the emphasis of the one on explanation and the emphasis of the other on practical principles. Aristotle's views on practical intellection allow him to solve a problem associated with Plato's proposals in the Laws, which resemble in important respects Aristotle's own proposals. Plato intends in the Laws to introduce an arrangement on which the polis is governed by non-philosopher citizens educated by the lawcode. However, because of his views on practical intellection, Plato is forced to put the 'Nocturnal Council' in charge of 'preserving the laws'. Because of his views on practical intellection, Aristotle can accept that the majority can be in charge of preserving the law. Aristotle's views on practical intellection also allow him to say that one ought to spell out the principles of the lawcode and privilege them in the interpretation of the law---which is different from the Athenian, procedural approach to the law---even though no universally true claims are possible on practical issues.

This thesis makes a proposal for a Greek policy in the area of television broadcasting aimed at ensuring the country's ability to maintain a distinctive position in the European broadcasting market while protecting and promoting Greece's culture and language. The first part of the thesis presents the evolution of Greek legislation on television broadcasting and the status of programming content and quality from 1966, when the first television programme schedule was transmitted, until the present day. The European Community's legal framework and, in particular, the "Television Without Frontiers" Directive is analyzed since any Greek broadcasting policy has to abide by Community law. Reference is also made to the Council of Europe's Convention on Transfrontier Television. Finally, it is suggested that a Greek television broadcasting policy should focus on the formulation of different mandates for the public and private broadcasters, on the reorganization and strengthening of the public broadcaster, on the increase and funding of national cultural broadcasts and Greek language audiovisual works (as defined in the thesis), as well as on high-quality and diversified programming.

This thesis examines the relationship between sovereignty and the problem of environmental degradation. The thesis argues that modern sovereignty, particularly as it is expressed through the sovereign state, is both a significant contributor to the problem of environmental degradation as well as a barrier to effectively addressing that problem. By thinking about sovereignty as a political orientation that shapes understandings of temporality, spatiality, identity and political community we can begin to develop the theoretical resources needed to reorient thinking and action. Furthermore, the thesis argues that environmental degradation, while a manifestation of problems with the orientation(s) of sovereignty, can also serve as a catalyst for political reorientation.

This thesis analyses the challenges from European constitutionalism to the classical concept of constitutional sovereignty and develops an alternative concept of multidimensional sovereignty that is adequate for understanding the architecture of political authority in the multilevel European Union constitution. Hereby, the thesis addresses two problems that are widely spread in European constitutional theory. First, it provides a clear and concise definition and concept of the European constitution. This is mainly based on an analysis of the emergence of the concept of the constitution and its meanings in the Western European history of (nation) states and by examining whether these meanings are applicable to the European context. Secondly, it identifies and explains which phenomena of European integration and the European Union polity actually challenge the core features of the traditional concept of sovereignty: indivisible and unitary sovereignty. The three challenges, that undermine the classical monolithic understanding of sovereignty, are multiple levels of authority, multiple sources of authority and new, non-hierarchical forms of authority relationships that occur in the European Union polity. That is why a revised concept of constitutional sovereignty is developed and which is particularly capable of grasping the transformed features of sovereignty in Europe: multidimensional sovereignty. This concept includes a complementary and multilevel structure of political authority in Europe. Throughout the thesis, the analysis and findings will be illustrated by constitutional practice and adjudication in Germany and the United Kingdom in order to show that the question of constitutional sovereignty has strong practical implications for and is highly influenced by constitutional practice in the Member States.

This essay examines Rousseau's political philosophy from the view point of power. The social contractis not under the modern primacy of govemment. It rather sees the constitution of community as an autonomous form of power that, under democratic conditions, reaches its realization in popular sovereignty. The legislator's enigmatic figure manifests, although with restriction, a third form of power: authority or the power of action as a competence of political initiatives. The balance among these three forms of power constitutes the framework of the modern conception of politics.El presente ensayo investiga la filosofia política de Rousseau bajo la perspectiva de la problemática del poder. El contrato social no se orienta por el primado moderno del Gobierno, sino que concibe la constitución de la comunidad como un modo autónomo de poder que en condiciones democráticas alcanza su realización en la soberanía popular. La figura enigmática del legislador pone de manifiesto, aunque en forma restringida, una tercera forma de poder: la autoridad o el poder de acción en cuanto competencia de iniciativas políticas. El balance entre estos tres tipos de poder constituye el marco en que se inscribe la concepción moderna de la política.

Notre étude a pour objet l’analyse des développements politiques et juridiques relatifs au concept de “Responsabilité de protéger“ (R2P). Notre recherche est conduite selon deux parcours parallèles : l’un traite de l’évolution du concept de souveraineté et de l’importance grandissante du rôle qu’assume la communauté internationale dans les affaires internes d’un Etat ; l’autre est consacré à la notion d’intervention à des fins humanitaires et des leçons qui découlent des expériences des années ‘90. Notre point de départ était que ce que la Responsabilité de protéger est ou n’est pas aujourd'hui, doit être compris à la lumière de cette évolution. Ayant délimité notre espace de recherche et identifié quels sont les éléments essentiels de la Responsabilité de protéger, nous avons evalué si, et de quelle manière la Responsabilité de protéger - après dix années d’existence - a été capable d’influencer la conduite de la communauté internationale, et, en particulier, du Conseil de Sécurité des Nations Unies. C’est pourquoi nous avons choisi d’étudier quatre cas – Libye, Côte d’Ivoire et Sri Lanka et Syrie – où la Responsabilité de protéger a été invoquée ou aurait dû l’être, pour déterminer les règles applicables à l’avenir. Nous avons adopté pour hypothèse de recherche que la Responsabilité de protéger est influencée par cinq variables indépendantes, à savoir, , la dynamique des discussions au sein du Conseil de Sécurité, la perspective d’un succès raisonnable fondée sur l’analyse coûts/bénéfices; le rôle des organisations régionales/subrégionales concernées; les activités du Conseil des droits de l´homme et l´action de la société civileThe research was aimed at understanding by means of which developments in the political and legal thinking the R2P finally reached its present shape. To this end, we analyzed on one side the evolution of the concept of absolute sovereignty and the shift towards an increased involvement of the international community in the internal affairs of the individual states, and, on the other side, the modifications incurred in the concept of intervention for humanitarian purposes and the lessons learned out of the experiences of the 1990s. We have argued that what R2P is, or is not, should be understood in the light of this long development. Having then established what now R2P is about we wanted to measure to which extent R2P was able, in the ten years of its existence, to influence the behavior of the international community, and in particular of the United Nations Security Council. Hence, we selected four cases – Libya, Côte d’Ivoire Sri Lanka and Syria – where R2P was invoked or should have been invoked, with the aim of finding regularities useful for guiding future action. Our research hypothesis was that R2P is influenced by five main independent variables, namely: the dynamic within the Security Council (active involvement of some specific countries/country representatives); reasonable perspective of success/attractive cost-benefit profile; the role of the relevant regional/sub-regional organizations; the activity of the Human Rights Council; and the action of civil society

Research on China’s strategy of cyber sovereignty to date has been inadequate, conceiving of the blueprint as a domestic Party censorship and surveillance mechanism, effectively minimising its foreign policy significance. Additionally, existing understandings have privileged the Western sovereignty paradigm, whose tenets have not been updated to reflect the impact of media and communication on today’s cross-bordered world. This interdisciplinary thesis challenges the prevailing narratives. It probes China’s power strategy of cyber sovereignty, arguing that it is not only a state-of-the-art experiment in regulating digital flows of information within China, but also a significant Party power strategy in facilitating their bold ambition to become a leader in global cyberspace. It makes the case that cyber sovereignty is an entirely new form of sovereign power, one that has harnessed the tools of the digital revolution in cutting-edge ways, forcing a rethinking of the classical mould of sovereignty. It offers an analytical redescription of this prototype of sovereignty, and the thesis contributes to the literature by offering an original interpretation of this form of power by illustrating its complex dynamics and paradoxical features. The thesis summarises the emergence of the concept of cyber sovereignty, identifying the theoretical and analytical cleavages in the literature. It also introduces the features of this new model of power, and establishes Hong Kong’s significance as a laboratory for cyber sovereignty. The thesis then conducts a pointed vivisection of the historical and contemporary literature on sovereignty, before delineating the re-envisioned model of cyber sovereignty. And lastly, the thesis positions Hong Kong as simultaneously the greatest expression of, yet challenge to China’s strategy of cyber sovereignty. Drawing from field research interviews, this interpretivist thesis peels back the blanketed layers, sedimented histories, and theoretical ideologies that intersect, diverge, and shroud understanding of this new modality of power. The thesis offers a prism through which to observe the political dynamics of the contemporary Chinese polity, now emerging as a global power, to more fully grasp the implications of cyber sovereignty in the international order.

Thesis advisor: Jonathan LaurenceThis thesis analyzes the impact of Europeanization on national sovereignty, through a case study examining the French experience between the Maastricht Treaty of the early 1990s and the Treaty of Lisbon in present day. It approaches the study of Europeanization and French national sovereignty from two directions, addressing both political and social sovereignty. While Europeanization and European integration are most identified with the economic realm, examining political and social sovereignty allows for the development of an understanding of how Europeanization operates as a top-down process. Europeanization began on the supranational level, bringing the states together economically. It then developed on the interstate level, bringing together leaders politically. Currently, it is expanding to the subnational level, uniting the people of all member states socially. Because of this progression, Europeanization has had the most impact on economic sovereignty, less on political sovereignty and the least on social sovereignty. Though Europeanization and national sovereignty are traditionally seen as locked in an either/or battle, this study of France’s experience with political and social sovereignty throughout the past twenty years suggests that Europeanization is not destroying national sovereignty, but rather, allowing for a reinterpretation of national sovereignty and the relationship between nation-states and international actors

The establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) through the signing of the Rome Statute in July, 1998 created the first permanent criminal court under international law. The Court stands in stark contrast to previous international criminal tribunals not simply because of its permanent nature, but also because it places the individual, not states, responsible under international law. It is, however, this independent, permanent nature of the Court which sparked fears within the society of states that the Court may in some manner serve to erode the state sovereignty. The purpose of this work is to address this basic concern.
The aim of the work is to address the concept of sovereignty by first examining standard perceptions of sovereignty and then to move the discussion into an institutionalist construction of the term. Once accomplished, I then apply a set of criteria for evaluating sovereignty to the basic structures of the ICC in order to explore what the potential impact of the ICC may be on the institution of state sovereignty. In the end, I find that the institution of sovereignty is not threatened by the presence of the Court. In fact, the institution of sovereignty may be in some ways bolstered by the Court in that the Court embodies a new set of principals with regards to the appropriate relationship between the state and the individual.Master of Arts
