Funded Activity Summary

Re-envisioning sovereignty and nationhood in the contemporary international context. There are few issues more important to any nation than the nature of its nationhood. States have been the principal actors in international relations. But traditional notions of state sovereignty are under challenge by human rights and refugee issues and from the controls needed to manage communicable diseases, environmental degradation, terrorism, and international crime. Australia actively participates in interventions, alliances and treaty making that sometimes support and sometimes undermine sovereignty. This project will assist Australia in its dealings with the world by building a new interdisciplinary model of sovereignty that resolves conceptual confusions and assists us in dealing with the international problems that we face.
