The author examines the various interpretations of sovereignty put forth by political philosophers and theorists such as Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, Hegel, Marx, and Weber, among others. The book explores the different meanings and implications of sovereignty, including its relationship to democracy, law, and authority.
