{"product_id":"complex-sovereignty-edgar-grande-9780802095282","title":"Complex Sovereignty: Reconstituting Political Authority in the Twenty-First Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe way humanity governs itself is today changing very rapidly. Profound transformations in structures of political authority are underway in Europe, North America, and beyond. Nation-states remain central, but they cannot address the most pressing problems facing their own citizens without moving away from traditional understandings of sovereignty itself. \u003ci\u003eComplex Sovereignty\u003c\/i\u003e contends that just such a movement is underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditors Edgar Grande and Louis W. Pauly and the contributors to this volume elucidate the meaning of 'complex sovereignty' through a set of conceptual and empirical studies including governance in the European Union and North America, the emergence of private-public partnerships, the adaptation of established international organizations, and the search for innovative mechanisms to manage risk. They reveal a fascinating and vitally important struggle to give coherence to a complicated governing system of multiple and overlapping hierarchies. This is an original, collaborative study crossing the disciplines of political science, international relations, sociology, and political economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgar Grande\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802095283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802095282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.01w x 0.88d","brand":"Edgar Grande","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059740209407,"sku":"9780802095282","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19c34778-b765-42d4-89b0-c2a463ee793a.jpg?v=1685060048","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/complex-sovereignty-edgar-grande-9780802095282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
