Linked to our recent book, on this account we post about new research on sovereignty, and debates from news and social media which engage with the concept.
“This book helps chart a pathway to a global history of the moment that we are in.” Jeremy Adelman commenting on Shifting Sovereignties at the Cambridge book launch on March 12. @CamHistory @IntellForum @JesusCollegeCam @dg_history @degruyter_brill
