The Problem Of Sovereignty, International Law, And Intellectual Conscience, Richard L. Lara
Richard Louis Lara
The concept of sovereignty is a recurring and controversial theme in international law, and it has a long history in western philosophy.

The essay begins by considering the problem of sovereignty from …
