Overview
This unit will examine the relationship between sovereignty and globalisation from the 'discovery' of the Americas, to the emergence of the nation-state and popular sovereignty, through colonisation and de-colonisation, to present concerns with financial and technological integration and the 'war on terror'. It will ask what it means to be 'sovereign' in a globalised world and how this question shapes and is shaped by the allocation of legal, political and economic power in the world.
