New Sovereignty

Discover the groundbreaking insights of New Sovereignty by Abram Chayes, published by Harvard University Press in 1998. This thought-provoking book spans 417 pages and delves into the complexities of international relations and law. Chayes critiques the conventional reliance on regulatory agreements to tackle pressing global issues such as nuclear proliferation, international trade, species extinction, and intellectual property rights. He argues that the frequent use of military or economic sanctions to enforce compliance is fundamentally flawed. Instead, Chayes introduces a novel model of treaty compliance that challenges the status quo and offers a fresh perspective on international governance. Ideal for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in political science and international law, New Sovereignty is essential reading for understanding the future of global cooperation.
