Winner of the 2015 David Easton Prize, awarded by the American Political Science Association (APSA) Global forces are eroding the ability of states to exert sovereign control over their populations, territories, and borders. Yet when dominated subjects across the world dream of freedom, they continue to conceive of it in sovereign terms. Sovereign freedom haunts the imagination of oppressed ethnic minorities, popular masses ruled by foreign powers or homegrown tyrants, indigenous peoples, and individuals chafing under customary or governmental restrictions. On Sovereignty and Other Political Delusions draws on political theory and on two case studies – the encounter between Anglo-American settlers and Native American tribes, and the search for Jewish sovereignty in Palestine – to probe the allure of the idea of sovereign freedom and its self-defeating logic. It concludes by shifting its sights from political to economic sovereign power and by pursuing intimations of non-sovereign freedom in the contemporary age. 2022-10-14T14:53:28Z 2022-10-14T14:53:28Z 2014 book ONIX_20221014_9781780933566_99 9781780933566 9781780933559 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58768 eng Theory for a Global Age Series application/pdf n/a 9781780933566.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781780933573 10.5040/9781780933573 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781780933566 9781780933559 Bloomsbury Academic 208 London open access
