Stephanie Russo Carroll (Ahtna-Native Village of Kluti-Kaah, Sicilian-descent) (DrPH, MPH) is Assistant Professor of Public Health and Associate Director for the Native Nations Institute at the University of Arizona, USA. A researcher active at the nexus of Indigenous governance, the environment, community wellness and data, Stephanie co-founded the US Indigenous Data Sovereignty Network and is a founding member and chair of the Global Indigenous Data Alliance. In the first instance, Tombs is too true to his profession to peddle the Brexiter myth that continued membership of the EU was incompatible with the historic identity of “our island nation”. He knows that other European countries have “histories of struggles for independence and democracy at least as proud as our own, but which so far they find compatible – if with some strain – with European integration”. There is, moreover, an underlying tension in the idea of “the people” in an explicitly multinational state like the UK. Tombs gets over it (as he gets over other problems for the idea of exclusive sovereignty, like the climate crisis) by refusing to recognise it. Even his most basic term of reference is evasive. His title speaks of an “isle”, singular. In the text, this slips awkwardly into “our islands”. But by “our”, he really means England’s: all his key points of reference are English.

League of Nations archives and e-resources: https://libraryresources.unog.ch/leagueofnationsarchives I'm really grateful for the information you sent me. It will definitely be really helpful in me getting to know, understand, honour and relate with Aboriginal people better." — Pearl To understand how this internationalization of modern sovereignty finally came about, it is useful to distinguish two key developments: the internationalization of popular sovereignty, and the development of sovereignty beyond the State.
What to read next
But if the referendum is the sacred moment of the exercise of sovereignty, why were the sovereign people not told in 2016 that, as Tombs insists, the only form of Brexit they were going to get was one of the most extreme imaginable? How can sovereign decisions be made in ignorance of their meaning? Authors like Bodin or Hobbes feared the division of sovereignty as much as its limitation. In a post-Westphalian world where competences are not only transferred, but also concurrent or shared, however, such fears have become obsolete; the division of competences has indeed become the rule in the EU and beyond. This applies in almost all domains and at all degrees of authority. The division of sovereignty can be vertical or horizontal, depending on whether it takes place among distinct political entities such as two States or between a State and the EU, or whether it takes place within a single political entity according to territorial or other federal divisions or according to distinct political functions. In the EU, the division of sovereignty goes along both vertical and horizontal lines. I was completely fixed on this book when I started reading it. The content connected so greatly with me that I couldn’t stop reading it. I have similar feelings, and Ryan’s words of wisdom and encouragement really cemented these ideas into my brain. True sovereignty also means that you have full ownership of your issues. It will be interesting to see what vocal Aboriginal activists have to say once First Nations peoples manage themselves the huge challenges they are facing today. Aboriginal definition
The Law of Parliamentary Sovereignty (Chapter 8) - A.V. Dicey The Law of Parliamentary Sovereignty (Chapter 8) - A.V. Dicey
If international sovereignty is both international law-based and a source of valid international law, it is pivotal to the legitimacy, ie legitimate authority of international law. International law’s authority is justified or legitimate if it has the right to rule and create duties to obey on the part of its subjects.Ryan’s writing style is not so intense that the reader must reread parts to understand them. However, I would say that Ryan uses a strong vocabulary and has a great way of getting his point across. He kept the content concise and pertaining to the overall theme of the book and the individual chapters. Ryan also writes about how most men live goal-less life, living each day to make money for their boss and for their family, only to go home to their kids and wife, watching TV till evening, going to sleep, and repeating. Starting from a robust normative conception of political freedom and a deft command of relevant political and legal events, theories, and debates, then deploying an exceptional talent for refined conceptual modeling and critical analysis, Cohen carves out a space for a unique and clarifying version of a state-sovereignty-conserving, constitutional-pluralist reorientation of ideas.’ The biggest contradiction of all is that, on the one hand, he argues that the future lies with the nation state and the sense of rootedness in place that makes democratic engagement possible. Fair enough – except that, on the other hand, he ends up suggesting that place doesn’t really matter anymore: “Geography comes before history. But for centuries we have been loosening the bonds of time and distance. Place has become less important.” If that is so, how can the old idea of pure sovereignty not need to be rethought?
The Sovereign Isle by Robert Tombs review – is this the best
Political and legal sovereignty have always been closely linked in the history of the concept; most theories either derive legal sovereignty from political sovereignty or vice-versa, while others see both dimensions as irreducibly connected. The paradox of pouvoir constituant and pouvoir constitué or of rule sovereignty and ruler sovereignty is inextricably tied to the modern claim to sovereignty. Different accounts have been given of the priority between political and legal sovereignty across the centuries and have contributed to perpetuating the centrality of the concept of sovereignty. Some authors have even argued that this paradox and mutual claim are testimony of the conceptual incoherence of sovereignty.These considerations about the role of sovereign States and IOs as international law-makers have important normative consequences. States and IOs do not make international law for themselves as free rational agents, but as officials for their respective populations, other States, and IOs. Their role as officials constrains their competence not only in terms of internal accountability, but at the international level itself. States are bound by the rule of international law, ie the set of values and principles associated with the idea of international legality. In the last resort, sovereign States are not the bearers of ultimate value. They exist for the sake of a people. In the international context, States are recognized by international law as trustees for the people committed to their care. This, of course, becomes clear from international human rights law, but it is also the point of most norms of international law: ultimately, international law is oriented to the well-being of human individuals, rather than to the freedom or autonomy of States. Reading these developments as the end of or as a reduction of sovereignty amounts to a misconception, however. They are in line with modern sovereignty as it was conceived of in the domestic context since the late 18 th century and are merely signs of its adaptation to new circumstances. Just as modern domestic sovereignty became an impersonal function of the State for the people, modern international sovereignty finally became a function distinct from the legal persona of the State. Moreover, just as modern domestic sovereignty emerged through a limitation of classic and early modern sovereignty, modern international sovereignty is a limited version of its classic correspondent. Further, just as modern domestic sovereignty is law-based, modern international sovereignty finds its sources in international law and not only the other way around. Finally, just as modern domestic sovereignty has an internal and an external dimension, modern international sovereignty is no longer only external, but it also has a growing internal dimension as international law regulates elements of internal State organization and competence. In short, modern international sovereignty is as important for the self-determination of democratic States in international law as ever, but to serve the same purpose its modalities have changed.
Sovereignty, the WTO and Changing Fundamentals of Sovereignty, the WTO and Changing Fundamentals of
In international law, internal sovereignty is used to mean the supreme authority within a territory or the ultimate power within that territory ( Customs Regime between Germany and Austria [Advisory Opinion] [Individual Opinion of Judge Anzilotti] 57). These two definitions refer to very different facets of sovereignty which correspond to its normative and empirical dimensions. Both have been present at different times in the evolution of the concept of internal sovereignty and their tension underlies most of the concept’s history. A third additional conception of sovereignty is absolute independence or freedom and it captures what is at stake in external sovereignty (arbitrator Max Huber in the Palmas Island Arbitration). My only critique in this category is that some sections felt repetitive, only worded slightly different. In addition, there were two spelling errors! Ughh. D. Grimm and B. Cooper, Sovereignty: The Origin and Future of a Political and Legal Concept (New York: Columbia University Press, 2015)
Where then does this indivisible sovereignty lie? Tombs rejects the notion that it belongs with the elected parliament in Westminster. He also disputes the right of the supreme court to find illegal Boris Johnson’s attempt to prorogue that parliament in 2019. So, sovereignty can lie only with the people and can be expressed only by their vote in a referendum. b) From the 19 th Century to the Early 20 th Century: Matching Domestic Sovereignty with International Sovereignty
