Document Summary
Sovereignty: the capacity and authority to control territory; the legitimate monopoly on violence within a defined territory. Juridical sovereignty: the legal right to govern, usually conferred externally through the un and diplomatic relations. Stephen krasner (sovereignty: organized hypocrisy) would argue that the norm" of sovereignty is really just the whim of great powers; they respect sovereignty when it is in their interest, and intervene when they feel like it. By contrast, constructivists (biersteker & weber, state sovereignty as a social. Construct) have highlighted the evolution of the norm of sovereignty. Explain the difference between a state and a nation. Define sovereignty and explain how the norm of sovereignty has changed over time to include humanitarian intervention and the responsibility to protect (see chapter 18).
