State and Sovereignty Is the State in Retreat? : Papers from the Thirty-first Foreign Policy School, 1996

"What does sovereignty mean? What is a sovereign state? How much is a state's freedom of action limited by the global financial system, by multinational corporations within a state, by treaty commitments and a commitment to the international legal system that underpins them, or by internal threats to sovereignty? And what will be the impact on individual states of new communications technology?" "These questions are addressed by the contributors to this book. They include experts in international relations, lawyers, economists, an ambassador and a politician."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
