"This
fine collection of essays grapples with the slippery notion of state
sovereignty and with the fate of the so-called Westphalian state.
. .It shows how state sovereignty. . .is put in question both by internal
fragmentation and by economic and ecological interdependence, which
not only deprives states of much of their power but also seems to
transfer portions of 'legitimate authority' to public and private
international organizations and to the free and largely rogue market.
It shows that the evolution of sovereignty in recent centuries results
from material, technological developments, from the ever-changing
realities of power, and from the influence of ideas such as self-determination,
or human rights, or pan-Islamism."- from the Foreword by Stanley Hoffmann
