Abstract

The article explores the dynamic and evolving nature of sovereignty in International Relations, focusing on its historical development and contemporary challenges. Through a sociological lens, the author traces the evolution of sovereignty from early modern theorists to modern-day issues like global human rights discourse and supranational governance. While the book primarily examines European and Western perspectives, it highlights the need for a more global understanding of sovereignty's historical development and functionality in diverse cultural contexts. Overall, the article provides valuable insights into the complexities and adaptability of sovereignty in addressing political power struggles. [Extracted from the article]
