SOVEREIGNTY: MORAL AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES

Book ID/图书代码： 05121214B72346

English Summary/英文概要： Sovereignty generally refers to a particular national territory, the inviolability of the nation’s borders, and the right of that nation to protect its borders and ensure internal stability. From the Middle Ages until well into the Modern Period, however, another concept of sovereignty held sway: responsibility for the common good. James Turner Johnson argues that these two conceptions -- sovereignty as self-defense and sovereignty as acting on behalf of the common good -- are in conflict and suggests that international bodies must acknowledge this tension.

Johnson explores this earlier concept of sovereignty as moral responsibility in its historical development and expands the concept to the current idea of the Responsibility to Protect. He explores the use of military force in contemporary conflicts, includes a review of radical Islam, and provides a corrective to the idea of sovereignty as territorial integrity in the context of questions regarding humanitarian intervention. Johnson’s new synthesis of sovereignty deepens the possibilities for cross-cultural dialogue on the goods of politics and the use of military force.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 主权一般是指一个特定的国家领土，国家边界的不可侵犯性以及该国保护其边界确保内部稳定的权利。从中世纪一直延续到现代时期，然而，主权的另一个概念正当道：公共利益的责任。詹姆斯•特纳•约翰逊认为，这两个概念——主权自卫和主权代表的公共利益之间有冲突，并建议国际机构必须承认这种紧张。

约翰逊探讨了主权作为道德责任在其历史发展的早期概念，并扩展了当前想法保护责任的概念到。他探讨了在当代冲突中武力的使用，包括激进的伊斯兰的审查，并纠正了主权在关于人道主义干预问题的背景下的领土完整的思想。约翰逊的主权的新合成加深了政治产品的跨文化对话和使用武力的可能性。(LNL)

"James Turner Johnson’s Sovereignty is a well-conceived and strongly documented examination of how the concept of sovereignty has evolved and changed from its inception until today. Combining ease of language with mastery of history, Johnson does his usual superb job of contributing substantially to the history of moral and political ideas." -- Brian Orend, author of The Morality of War, University of Waterloo, Department of Philosophy

"Unsurprisingly, James Turner Johnson has produced yet another landmark work on the use of military force. This time, though, he extends his reach to provide a nuanced and insightful exploration of the relationship between sovereignty and just war. Yet again, we -- scholars, policy makers, and military officials -- are indebted to him for combining history, ethics, and political theory in order to understand the responsibility to protect and the justice of using force." -- Anthony F. Lang, Jr., professor, School of International Relations, University of St. Andrews
