Who is Sovereignty For?
I’m aware that the definition of “sovereignty” is not a hot-button political issue; if “definition of sovereignty” made it into a poll of voters’ priorities, it would probably rank in the mid-20,000s, in between “fire hydrants are too sexy” and “Fruit by the Foot should be metric”. But sovereignty has been on my mind as the Iranian people seek to topple their regime and many Venezuelans celebrate the sorta-toppling of theirs. Sovereignty is the linchpin of the modern international system, but…is sovereignty good? The more I think about the concept, the more muddled it becomes. So, please indulge my confusion™.
