It is traditionally accepted that international law is structured around the concept of sovereignty. Sovereignty acts as the point of reference to determine the nature of legal personality, the capacity to create international law, and the location of authority over territory. This book questions the continued relevance of sovereignty to these issues through examining the activities of non-state actors. At a time when many commentators are examining the role of non-state actors in terms of their obligations to guarantee human rights, this book focuses on their functions as promoters and protectors. In particular it examines how human rights standards are supervised by inter-governmental organisations, and how non-governmental organisations have played an instrumental role in the creation of human rights treaties. The book engages with the theoretical dimension of human rights law in a novel way by examining the nature and impact of human rights actors - rather than human rights law itself - on sovereignty. Rather than a strict sovereignty-centred positivist approach to international law it uses international relations literature as an aid to the analysis of non-state practice and proposes a fresh understanding of international law.

In Contingent citizenship, Sandra Mantu examines the changing rules of citizenship deprivation in the UK, France and Germany from the perspective of international and European legal standards. In practice, two grounds upon which loss of citizenship takes place stand out: fraud in the context of fraudulent acquisition of nationality and terrorism in the context of national security. Newly naturalised citizens and citizens of immigrant origin are mainly targeted by these measures. The resurrection of the importance attached to loyalty as the citizen’s main duty towards his/her state shows that the rules on loss of citizenship are capable of expressing ideals of membership and identity, while the citizenship status of certain citizens remains contingent upon meeting these ideals.

As the global ‘data revolution’ accelerates, how can the data rights and interests of indigenous peoples be secured? Premised on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, this book argues that indigenous peoples have inherent and inalienable rights relating to the collection, ownership and application of data about them, and about their lifeways and territories. As the first book to focus on indigenous data sovereignty, it asks: what does data sovereignty mean for indigenous peoples, and how is it being used in their pursuit of self-determination? The varied group of mostly indigenous contributors theorise and conceptualise this fast-emerging field and present case studies that illustrate the challenges and opportunities involved. These range from indigenous communities grappling with issues of identity, governance and development, to national governments and NGOs seeking to formulate a response to indigenous demands for data ownership. While the book is focused on the CANZUS states of Canada, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and the United States, much of the content and discussion will be of interest and practical value to a broader global audience. ‘A debate-shaping book … it speaks to a fast-emerging field; it has a lot of important things to say; and the timing is right.’ — Stephen Cornell, Professor of Sociology and Faculty Chair of the Native Nations Institute, University of Arizona ‘The effort … in this book to theorise and conceptualise data sovereignty and its links to the realisation of the rights of indigenous peoples is pioneering and laudable.’ — Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Baguio City, Philippines

Sovereignty has for centuries been the central concept for reasoning about political arrangements both inside countries and between countries. Today, the global system of sovereign states is unravelling. Meaningful sovereignty is diluted by supranational institutions, multinational companies, debt-imposed policies, multilateral treaties, external interference, and the prevalence of threats, sanctions, and violence.This book presents a vocabulary for speaking about political decision-making without presupposing sovereignty. It first explains how values, agency, and theories are related through decision-making. People can't see into each other's heads. Only through observing and interpreting actions can they determine the intentions of other people. It is not possible to settle one of the aspects going into decisions before the others. An indeterminacy in explaining actions in terms of values, agency, and involved theories will always remain as the different aspects can compensate for each other.Many actions take place in the context of organised interactions with other people. How do we divide and coordinate work? What is the point of democracy? What role does authority play? The games and scenarios structuring our lives influence the values and opportunities we see when making decisions on how to act.Patterns of thought box in our thinking about political situations. Sovereignty and citizenship set the standard for agency. Laws and rights vie for primacy in any analysis. And the role and intentions of opposing individuals easily get blown up beyond any realistic proportion. Changing a course of action is obstructed by rigid thinking that seems impossible to give up. To overcome conflict such patterns need to be considered and possibly revised. Listing assumptions, articulating values, and revising theories are necessary parts of this process. Two cases illustrate how the dynamics of values, agency, and theories can be applied as a tool of analysis.The criterion of equality is the core principle of the Enlightenment, the philosophical movement that drove change in Western societies since the seventeenth century. Israel is based on political, social, and economic inequality between Jews and non-Jews in the land of Palestine. By focusing on values, theories, and paradigms, we see how a number of ideological constructions of Enlightenment in the West are dismantled to justify the inequality constituting Israeli arrangements.The European Union was founded to support peace and prosperity. New political and economic arrangements replaced sovereignty and the adverse effect of borders. Political events in Ukraine in 2014 have been invoked to make "territorial integrity" paramount again. Europe is now captive of a negative process of escalation which is bound to lead to war on Russia and which causes a dramatic transformation of European ideology and institutions.What these cases demonstrate is how actual decisions diverge from what is needed to resolve conflict. Justifications for decisions involve explanations of why the respective conflicts can not be resolved. These explanations are subsequently accepted as part of the dominant ideology. Western decisions about situations in the periphery of the West are thus turned into values and theories underlying new decisions which transform the core of Western society.Captivated by the justifications for bad decisions in the past, the West has lost much of its ability to theorise propitiously. Furthermore, the priority given to the values of support for human life, consent of the governed, and prosperity has sunk.Enlightenment has made way for Dusk.

Archiving Sovereignty shows how courts use fiction in their treatment of sovereign violence. Law's complicity with imperial and neocolonial practices occurs when courts inscribe and repeat the fabulous tales that provide an alibi for archaic sovereign acts that persist in the present. The United Kingdom's depopulation of islands in the Indian Ocean to serve the United States' neoimperial interests, Australia's exile and abandonment of refugees on remote islands, the failure to acknowledge genocidal acts or colonial dispossession, and the memorial work of the South African Constitution after apartheid are all sustained by historical fictions. This history-work of law constitutes an archive where sovereign violence is mediated, dissimulated, and sustained. Stewart Motha extends the concept of the "archive," as site of origin and source of authority, to signifying what law does in preserving and disavowing the past at the same time. Sovereignty is often cast as a limit-concept, constituent force, determining the boundary of law. Archiving Sovereignty reverses this to explain how judicial pronouncements inscribe and sustain extravagant claims to exceptionality and sovereign solitude. This wide-ranging, critical work distinguishes between myths that sustain neocolonial orders and fictions that generate new forms of political and ethical life.

Cities have become increasingly important to global politics, but have largely occupied a peripheral place in the academic study of International Relations (IR). This is a notable oversight for the discipline, although one which may be explained by IR’s traditional state centrism, the subjugation of the city to the demands of the territorial state in the modern period, and a lack of conceptual and analytical frameworks that can allow scholars to include the impact of cities within their work. Presenting case-specific scholarship from leading experts in the field, each contribution guides the reader through the changing nature of cities in the international system and their increasing prominence in global governance outcomes. The book features case studies on the financial power of cities, city action in the security domain, collaboration of cities in coping with environmental problems, transnational urban regions, and mayors as international actors to illustrate if the relationship between the city and the state has changed in profound ways, and how cities are empowered by structural changes in world politics. The multidisciplinary and global focus in The Power of Cities in International Relations sheds much needed light on the significance of the reemergence of cities from the long shadow of the nation-state. Only by examining the mechanisms that have empowered cities in the last few decades can we understand their new functions and capabilities in global politics.

Natural resources and their effective management are necessary for securing the realisation of human rights. The management of natural resources is linked to broad issues of economic development, as well as to political stability, peace and security, but it is also intimately connected to the political, economic, social and cultural rights of individuals and communities relying on these resources. The management of natural resources often leads to ill-planned development, misappropriation of land, corruption, bad governance, misaligned budget priorities, lack of strong institutional reforms and weak policies coupled with a continued denial of the human rights of local communities. This book argues that human rights law can play an important role in ensuring a more effective and sustainable management of natural resources, putting forward the idea of a human rights-based normative framework for natural resource management. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the different norms, procedures, and approaches developed under human rights law that are relevant to the management of natural resources. Advocating for a less market and corporate approach to the control, ownership, and management of natural resources, this book supports the development of holistic and coherent integration of human rights law in the overall international legal framework governing the management of natural resources.
