Studies In The Problem Of Sovereignty (1917) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781437112627)

""Studies in the Problem of Sovereignty"" is a book written by Harold Joseph Laski and originally published in 1917. The book is a collection of essays that explore the concept of sovereignty, or the supreme power or authority in a political system. In the book, Laski examines different theories of sovereignty, including those based on divine right, natural law, and popular sovereignty. He also explores the relationship between sovereignty and democracy, arguing that true democracy requires a limitation on the power of the sovereign. Laski's writing is characterized by his deep concern for social justice and his belief in the importance of democratic institutions. He argues that sovereignty is not an absolute concept, but rather a social construct that must be constantly redefined and renegotiated by citizens. Overall, ""Studies in the Problem of Sovereignty"" is an important work of political theory that continues to be studied and debated by scholars today. It offers a nuanced and critical examination of the concept of sovereignty and its role in modern politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
