This book provides a complete documentary history of the idea of sovereignty from Classical theory to the global age. Its "diachronic" perspective illuminates the characteristic feature of modern sovereignty: the anthropomorphism of nations. The "synchronic" perspective describes conflicting elements within the history of sovereignty by identifying its encounter with nationalism and constitutionalism.
