Research Handbook on the Law and Politics of Sovereignty

Edited by Marinos Diamantides, Michel Rosenfeld and Giuseppe Martinico

Bringing together global experts, it traces the development of sovereignty across plural traditions of authority and legitimacy and analyses its contemporary transformations, from constitutional authority and global governance to political theology, biopower and decolonial critiques.
