Globalization and new medievalism : A reconsideration of the concept of sovereignty

Küreselleşme ve etnik ulusçuluğun yükselişi, sınırlar, topraksallık ve egemenlik ile ilgili tartışmaları arttırmıştır. Uydu teknolojisi, gerillalar ve küresel hastalıklar, sınırların ayrıma ve'-'korumaya dayalı geleneksel rollerini değiştirmiştir. Bu gelişmeler, Vestfalya Barışı ile ortaya çıkan mutlak egemenlik kavramının daha yakından incelenmesini gerektirmektedir. Yakın zamanda yeni ortaçağcılık yaklaşımı, egemenliğin ortaçağdaki gibi zayıfladığını iddia etmektedir. Bu makale egemenliğin zayıflamadığını, ancak son zamanlardaki siyasi ve ekonomik dinamikler ışığında değişim geçirdiğini vurgulamaktadır.

Globalization and rising ethnic nationalism have triggered discussions concerning borders, territoriality and sovereignty. Satellite technology, guerillas and global diseases have changed traditional roles of borders which are based on division and protection. These developments necessitate a closer look at the concept of absolute sovereignty which was established with the Peace of Westphalia. Recently, new medievalism argues that sovereignty is being weakened as in the medieval times. This article asserts that sovereignty is not eroded; rather, it is being transformed under current political and economic dynamics.
