Grimm wonders whether recent political changes have undermined notions of national sovereignty, comparing manifestations of the concept in different parts of the world. Geared for classroom use, the study maps various notions of sovereignty in relation to the people, the nation, the state, and the federation, distinguishing between internal and external types of sovereignty. Grimm's book will appeal to political theorists and cultural-studies scholars and to readers interested in the role of charisma, power, originality, and individuality in political rule UR - https://doi.org/10.7312/grim16424 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780231539302 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780231539302/original ER -
