Pluriversal sovereignty and the state

Viac o knihe

The book explores the normalization of 'total territorial rule' in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) within the context of the modern international system. It introduces a decolonial framework that emphasizes a 'pluriverse' of diverse ontologies of sovereignty, arguing that the state is a product of imperial globalization. Through this lens, it examines the implications of colonial legacies on contemporary governance and territoriality, challenging conventional understandings of statehood and sovereignty.
