具体描述
This is a study of the concept of sovereignty in the modern epoch. It explores sovereignty as a dense conceptual site where notions of agency, power, knowledge, freedom and governmental practices associated with liberalism and the Enlightenment intersect and through which ethical subjectivities are formed. For too long modern political theory has assumed the subject; it has also assumed the state. This book asks how each are effected in history through liberal-Enlightenment ethical and political affirmations which anchor themselves in a unique metaphysics of statecraft.
