{"product_id":"sovereignty-james-turner-johnson-9781626160569","title":"Sovereignty: Moral and Historical Perspectives","description":"\u003cp\u003eSovereignty generally refers to a particular national territory, the inviolability of the nation's borders, and the right of that nation to protect its borders and ensure internal stability. From the Middle Ages until well into the Modern Period, however, another concept of sovereignty held sway: responsibility for the common good. James Turner Johnson argues that these two conceptions-sovereignty as self-defense and sovereignty as acting on behalf of the common good-are in conflict and suggests that international bodies must acknowledge this tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohnson explores this earlier concept of sovereignty as moral responsibility in its historical development and expands the concept to the current idea of the Responsibility to Protect. He explores the use of military force in contemporary conflicts, includes a review of radical Islam, and provides a corrective to the idea of sovereignty as territorial integrity in the context of questions regarding humanitarian intervention. Johnson's new synthesis of sovereignty deepens the possibilities for cross-cultural dialogue on the goods of politics and the use of military force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Turner Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626160562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626160569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 5.49w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 889","brand":"James Turner Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984694968575,"sku":"9781626160569","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1af717b7-be48-48cb-b053-3e488eed3880.jpg?v=1683273732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sovereignty-james-turner-johnson-9781626160569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
