Opis

This volume explores how the bedrock institution of today's global order - sovereignty - is undergoing transformation as a result of complex interactions between power and norms, between politics and international law. It analyses a series of controversial military interventions into the internal affairs of 'irresponsible sovereigns' and discusses their consequences for the rules on the use of force and the principle of sovereign equality.
