Sovereignty is a central concept in international law. But there is no concept that generates as much confusion among scholars and practitioners. While there is general agreement that sovereignty, as the absolute power of the state to exist without transnational restrictions, has no application within the contemporary international system, this is where the agreement stops. Social science cannot seem to provide any single conceptualization of sovereignty that can not only describe the past and understand the dilemmas of the present but also predict the trends of the future with reasonable authority.
