- W222686113 abstract "Panel topic: Sovereignty and self-determination continue to play a surprisingly significant discursive and political role in today's human rights discourse. The concepts are invoked by countries like United States and United Kingdom as well as by some developing countries and by certain ethnic and indigenous groups. What might different invocations have in common, and what might we learn by comparing them? What, if any, is relationship between internal theories of sovereignty (relationship of state to its own people) and external notions of sovereignty (state vis-a-vis other states)? I. INTRODUCTION In 1757, philosopher David Hume suggested, in a letter to Andrew Millar, that the commencement of modern History occurred when Columbus returned from his first voyage to Americas.1 The new world opened up by that initial voyage challenged European conceptions of reigning world order and put its powers into contact with a people its existing theories of state would have to contend. Because this discovery cast into doubt capaciousness of their world view (in ways that even adventures into Asia did not admit) and because they had to account for heretofore utterly unaccountable territory and people, a new world would have to be constructed. The new theories of state and of nation produced a binding energy, dissipation of which we are only feeling today. The two papers presented here pull back curtain on two formative moments, one deeply religious and philosophical and other just as deeply philosophical, but narrated in diction of diplomat. Professor Tony Anghie looks at creation of mandate system under League of Nations whereas Professor Srinivas Aravamudan looks back at Jean Bodin as well as some of neglected chapters in Hume's Leviathan. Professor Aravamudan takes Hume at his word and examines foundational impact of his theory of legitimacy. By also surveying work of Bodin, Professor Aravamudan contextualizes evolution of idea of sovereignty and demonstrates how we continue to frame discussions of sovereignty in ways that scarcely make sense in rapidly changing internationalized world and call into question foundational justifications of Enlightenment project. The reverberations of impact of foundational notions of sovereignty described by Professor Aravamudan are examined in Professor Anghie's critique of Mandate and Minority Treaty systems. When League of Nations was formed and assumed power to remap earth, it was a time when notions of honor still made sense and when idea of an imperial mission could be used to justify extension of ideas of national statehood within framework of western leadership. And perhaps most importantly, it was a time when that project was viewed as a relatively noble goal. That such a framework could so ill fit world remains evident. The residue of Mandate and Minority Treaty systems and problematic conceptions of both state and sovereignty they embodied continue to trouble us today.2 By challenging both theoretical framework and practical system that evolved from it Professors Anghie and Aravamudan give us insight into nature of Enlightenment project and its power and blindnesses. Importantly, they each cast into relief (each in their own way, of course) temporal discontinuities that plague attempts to globalize a particular understanding of nationhood and state. In many ways both Anghie and Aravamudan reveal that problem as one of biggest challenges to understanding nature of state and international power. Global reach is no longer just a way to express imperial design, but an increasing complex idea that itself challenges notion of sovereignty that is tied to a state system. II. ARAVAMUDAN Professor Aravamudan begins by interrogating premises of both panel and symposium. …" @default.
