Continuity and Change in the Westphalian Order

This special issue of International Studies Review focuses on the "Westphalian Moment" when the modern system of territorially organized states is said to have come into existence. The authors examine a number of issues relating to sovereignty in both its internal and external manifestations, including the role of norms in undermining non-sovereign forms of political organization, manifestations of exclusive authority over territory before Westphalia, the relationship between regional organizations and sovereign states, and the role of environmental interdependence in undermining sovereign institutions.Caporaso, James A. is the author of 'Continuity and Change in the Westphalian Order' with ISBN 9780631221456 and ISBN 063122145X.
