Thanks to the ‘linguistic and sociological turns’ in social sciences as well as the changeable ontology of the post 1991 world order, this important concept has come under thorough academic scrutiny and reassessment. Notably, what we currently experience as the ‘sovereignty discourse’ has much to say about the theoretical understanding and practical condition ofpolitics. On the one hand, it reflects their past academic and political texture and also underlines current trends in political organisation. On the other, it also anticipates its shape in the years to come. Understanding this, as this essay tries to show, is essential for understanding the nature as well as the future of international relations.
