- Summary:
- This book brings together genuine theoretical explorations and original case studies on the strategic use of state sovereignty in contemporary European and international politics. It suggests a new conceptual framework of 'sovereignty games' to understand how states and other actors are instrumentalizing claims to legal and political authority. While globalization, Europeanization and international legal regimes constrain the exercise of sovereignty, they also provide new opportunities for exploiting the relationship between power, legitimacy and territoriality. The volume covers different aspects of the use of sovereignty, ranging from the current 'war against terror' over immigration, refugee and monetary policies to struggles of authority between Member States and the European Union.
