After sovereignty: on the question of political beginnings

After Sovereignty addresses the vexed question of sovereignty in contemporarysocial, political, and legal theory. The emergence, and now apparent implosion, of international capital exceeding the borders of known political entities,the continued expansion of a potentially endless 'war on terror', the often predicted, but still uncertain, establishment of either a new international American Empire or a new era of International Law, the proliferation of social and political struggles among stateless refugees, migrant workers, and partial citizens, the resurgence of religion as a dominant source of political identification among people all over the globe - these developments and others have thrown into crisis the modern concept of sovereignty, and the notions of statehood and citizenship that rest upon it.
