Sovereignty Evolved: Tracing the Concept's Genealogy

Abstract

    This study undertakes a genealogical analysis of the concept of sovereignty, tracing its historical evolution and examining its cultural, political, and technological influences. The study begins with the Westphalian system, which established state sovereignty, and explores how globalization, human rights, environmental issues, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence have affected the concept. The paper also examines the role of international law and institutions in shaping the limits and responsibilities of states in exercising sovereignty. This research argues that sovereignty is a dynamic and evolving concept, shaped by historical, political, and technological developments. By critically analyzing the diverse meanings of sovereignty and its various expressions in international law, this study offers a deeper understanding of the concept and its significance in shaping the modern world. The keywords for this study are sovereignty, international law, globalization, human rights, artificial intelligence, and state sovereignty.
