'Sovereignty remains an inexhaustible source of fascination. In this exciting new volume, scholars from a range of disciplines explore how contestations of sovereignty have been pushing its meaning in forever new directions in a broad spectrum of instances across the world. As such, this volume should be of interest to students of international relations, international law, and anthropology.'

Jens Bartelson, Professor, Department of Political Science, Lund University

'This important new work draws on multiple disciplines and vantage points to de-parochialize our understandings of sovereignty, interrogate its constructed meanings, and illustrate the continuously contested nature of sovereignty itself.'

Thomas J. Biersteker, Gasteyger Professor Honoraire, The Graduate Institute, Geneva, and Wilson Center Global Fellow, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Washington, DC

'This book showcases original and interdisciplinary research that scrutinises statehood and sovereignty in modern global politics. Hannes Černy and Janis Grzybowski are to be commended for assembling a stellar collection of nuanced contributions to these important debates.'
