Notes on Sovereignty: From the Standpoint of the State and of the World is a book written by Robert Lansing in 1921. The book explores the concept of sovereignty and its importance in both the domestic and international spheres. Lansing, who was the United States Secretary of State at the time of writing, draws on his extensive experience in international diplomacy to provide a comprehensive analysis of the subject. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on sovereignty from the standpoint of the state, examining how it is defined and exercised within a country. Lansing discusses the different forms of sovereignty, including absolute and limited, and the role of the government in asserting and maintaining sovereignty. He also explores the relationship between sovereignty and democracy, and the challenges that arise when these two concepts come into conflict.The second part of the book looks at sovereignty from the standpoint of the world, examining how it operates in the international arena. Lansing discusses the concept of national sovereignty and how it is respected and protected by other nations. He also explores the role of international law in defining and regulating sovereignty, and the challenges that arise when different countries have conflicting claims to sovereignty over the same territory.Throughout the book, Lansing emphasizes the importance of sovereignty in maintaining stability and order both within and between nations. He argues that sovereignty is essential for the preservation of individual rights and freedoms, and that it is the duty of governments to protect and uphold this fundamental principle. Overall, Notes on Sovereignty provides a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of one of the most important concepts in political theory and international relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
