Rezensionen

'As state power falters, sovereignty attracts increasing cross-disciplinary interest, but often unsurely grounded in the history of ideas. Prokhovnik's lucid, erudite and innovative study corrects that omission.' - Neil Walker, Professor of European Law, European University Institute, Italy

'A formidably sophisticated work that makes a major contribution to the study of 'the political' - not just to the long-running debates on sovereignty' - Terrell Carver, University of Bristol, UK, Contemporary Political Theory
