This new quantity exhibits how state sovereignty is extra fluid and contested than is generally preferred inside of either traditional and constructivist literature.
Whereas past constructivist works have investigated the temporal contingency of nation sovereignty, the spatial contingency of this idea has been missed. This book tackles this situation, showing the reader how the that means of nation sovereignty was once constituted another way on the subject of the intervention in Kosovo and the case of non-intervention in Algeria within the past due Nineties.
This crucial research in actual fact and concisely:
- takes latest constructivist and poststructuralist paintings on country sovereignty one step additional, arguing that nation sovereignty not just is open to various buildings over the years, but additionally throughout area
- probes extra into the conceptual relationships among sovereignty/ intervention, arguing that legitimations of non-intervention may also be analyzed as a tradition, which provides which means and content material to the idea that of kingdom sovereignty
- contributes to the rising debate at the value of 'methodology' in constructivist experiences, turning the philosophical and meta-theoretical assumptions of constructivism and poststructuralism into an educated 'analytical technique' guiding the book’s empirical discourse research.

The third question relates to Weber’s conceptualization of time and historical change. Weber aims to show “how state sovereignty has been fixated historically” and the analysis very powerfully demonstrates historical differences in fixations of sovereignty across the five cases of interventions. But we do not see how these changes come about. Each historical epoch appears to serve as an example of radically different conceptualizations of sovereignty. Yet, there is no historical account for the conditions of possibilities for this change or for how the transition between each epoch/discourse takes place.
Yet, who the people are, could only be answered by invoking a community of judgement (Weber 1995: 92). With respect to the Reagan administration’s intervention in Grenada, it was the regional Organisation of East Caribbean States (OECS) which was inscribed as the proper community of judgement. Since this community had requested military assistance from the United States and since this community included the people of Grenada, justifications could once again argue that this did not constitute an intervention.
What are the main insights of the analysis? And what do the questions asked inhibit each study from analysing? Moving from Walker to Bartelson and finally to Weber it will be argued that sovereignty is “progressively” opened up, but that none of the three authors combines an analysis which takes account of contingency of state sovereignty in time as well as space. Walker and Bartelson – deconstructing a discipline, deconstructing its core concepts Through a reading of International Relations texts, especially the modern AngloAmerican theories associated with realism, Walker sets out to investigate those assumptions, concepts and principles that the discipline is predicated on, notably the concept of state sovereignty.
