Conditions of Sovereignty
About Project
As two decades of the twentieth-first century has past, in the present day, with radical proceedings of globalization and informatization, the seemingly outdated concept of “sovereignty” has again caught people’s attention. On the other hand, while theoretical examinations of the concept are insufficient, in reality “sovereignty” has increasingly become a polemical concept. Taking into consideration different political experiences over the world in the present-day, this project aims at a theoretical and philosophical reexamination of the conditions that determine the concept of sovereignty.

The Progress
In order to answer various questions, we have to go beyond pure theoretical investigations and examine different concepts of sovereignty that are operative in different states and areas as a consequence of historical and geographical dynamics. Several small-scale seminars will be held online in cooperation with universities in the U.S., Korea, and China.
