The Sovereignty Revolution
by Alan Cranston, edited by Kim Cranston
Written by the late Senator Cranston,
a former president of the World Federalist Association, The
Sovereignty Revolution is an analysis of the problems created by our
current conception of sovereignty. This concept, "with every nation
supreme inside its own borders and acknowledging no master outside
them," only increases conflict. Cranston makes an impassioned argument
that these conceptions of sovereignty, and in turn the role of
international institutions, must change before humanity can effectively
resolve the world’s increasingly global challenges.
